Panelists will discuss the pace of DevOps adoption and demands on developers that make the addition of security requirements such a challenge. Attendees will hear guidance on how to successfully evolve DevOps into DevSecOps, and the people, process, and technology transformations that will make this endeavor a "Mission Possible." Further, attendees will take away an understanding of the current state of DevOps and DevSecOps adoption and actionable ideas to integrate security into an organization's application development process.

DevSecOps Leaders Panel: Making the Mission Possible

When: 11:00am-11:45am PT 

Description: DevSecOps is an approach that fosters the collaboration of DevOps and Security. It's well known that DevOps has been transformational in creating faster and more efficient software development lifecycles, but what about security? What happens when the code that's released into production includes vulnerabilities? The DevSecOps Leaders Panel brings together experts who are on the front lines of defining and driving DevSecOps inside their organizations. This thought-provoking session will provide you with real-world examples and best practices to ensure secure continuous delivery, and tips for creating a more collaborative culture between development and security.

Who:

• Sandeep Potdar, Senior Product Manager, WhiteHat Security
• Peter Monahan, Senior Solutions Architect, WhiteHat Security

When: 11:45am-12:30pm PT

Description: Using Mojito mixing to illustrate adding security to the application development process, this session will impart learnings from a real-world case study that uses all of the tools of the application security trade to secure the entire SDLC. Based on its implementation, the organization has seen dramatic improvements in the security of their applications thanks to a vulnerability remediation rate of 53% within 10 days versus an industry average of 15% within 10 days. Attendees will take away a blueprint for engaging developers in the heroic effort of securing applications throughout the SDLC.
