DevSecOps Beyond the Myths: Cutting Through the Hype and Doubt to Get Results

DevSecOps is moving beyond the buzzword stage and into the real world. But there are obstacles standing in the way of widespread adoption. Perhaps the biggest obstacle is a lack of understanding about what DevSecOps is, which can discourage IT leaders, developers, and security teams who fear that it is a bridge too far to cross from DevOps, let alone Waterfall and Agile methodologies. Despite these myths and doubts, DevSecOps is producing real results in organizations that embrace it. For example, CA Veracode’s analysis of thousands of application scans found that applications scanned for security flaws early in the development process had a 48% higher fix rate (reduction in flaws) than other applications. In this keynote address, CA Veracode CEO Sam King will introduce the concepts of DevSecOps that will form the basis of this virtual summit. Sam will discuss: -A simple definition of what DevSecOps is, beyond the hype and the myths, and why it holds promise for bringing together the assurances of AppSec with the speed and agility of DevOps -Why the evidence says that DevSecOps is attainable in the real world – how CA Veracode scanning data shows that there is a genuine shift to DevOps and DevSecOps happening, one step at a time. -Overview of the challenges that stand in the way – cultural, process, and technological – and how best practices can break down barriers to change. -Welcome to speakers and setting the stage for what you should expect and come away with from the event.
