Accelerating the Developer-First Security Movement

Is your company choking on the hundreds (or thousands!) of controls in Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)? These standards can be overwhelming: They mandate comprehensive security architecture diagrams used for threat modeling, detailed code reviews and extensive penetration tests.

Adhering to GRC requirements is a big problem for both small and large organisations. 

This video explores: 

  • How older companies with long-established processes are typically slower, have longer feedback loops and lack the flexibility of smaller, agile companies that can quickly adapt to changing market needs. 
  • How newer companies tend to have a high delivery cadence, short lead times, fast recovery times and low change failure rate. Their product delivery processes are more agile because they use small work packages, integrated test automation and shorter feedback loops. Understandably, they view GRC with an air of suspicion, viewing mandated security processes and tools as a hindrance that slows down their product delivery teams.
  • How NIST Special Paper 800-53 800, adopted by many organisations as the foundation of their own standards, can’t keep up with the pace of change in the software industry, leaving the NIST controls in the dust and out of sync with reality

This video delves into how organisations can both deliver products and services at an accelerated rate and also satisfy GRC requirements. 

You can find  harmony between the product delivery teams who crave more autonomy and the centralized GRC groups who want some control. 

This video covers the missing piece: namely, coordination between central teams who unilaterally develop controls and then throw them over the wall for engineering teams to consume. Engineering teams adopt their own security practices independently of these central security teams and, in some cases, may fail to implement any sort of security practices at all.

This video will cover how organisations both large and small can build that missing piece. It will show you how to get GRC and product delivery teams working in harmony so that the organisation is able to accomplish a strong market presence, able to continuously deliver products that are high-quality, secure, delightful to customers and compliant with GRC requirements.
