Who Owns Security in DevSecOps?
Navigating the Chaos: Integrating Security into DevSecOps
The DevOps philosophy has revolutionized the way we build, test, and deploy software, enabling agility, collaboration, and innovation at scale. However, introducing security into this fast-paced environment often feels like forcing a square peg into a round hole. As teams strive to embrace DevSecOps, they frequently encounter friction: slowed pipelines, misaligned priorities, a lack of shared accountability and way too many alerts.
In this talk, we’ll explore why “inserting the Sec” is so challenging and uncover strategies to make security an organic part of your DevOps journey. We’ll discuss practical techniques for embedding security into the development lifecycle, fostering a culture of collaboration between developers, operations, and security teams, and leveraging automation to scale security practices without sacrificing speed.
Attendees will leave with actionable insights on how to transform messy security integrations into seamless, high-impact practices that support, rather than hinder, innovation. Let’s turn DevSecOps from a buzzword into a reality.
