The Transformations Needed to Scale DevSecOps

Contrast OSS Platform Macbook

The traditional approach to quality assurance (QA) was disrupted when the Agile movement caused most development teams to start taking at least partial ownership of the quality of their products and involved fundamental changes to mindset, terminology, tools, metrics, roles, and practices. The cloud-native and DevOps movements similarly disrupted traditional IT Ops. Now it's security's turn.

Siloed functions tend to result in local optimization rather than holistic systems thinking. This is what DevSecOps aims to address. In this hour-long TechStrong Learning webinar from October 2024, Larry Maccherone, Dev(Sec)Ops Transformation Architect at Contrast Security, and Brono Korenko, IT Specialist at BMW Group, discuss how to effectively implement and scale DevSecOps.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why you can’t have DevSecOps without DevOps and what is DevOps
  • What are the common pitfalls of scaling DevSecOps and how to avoid them
  • What effective DevSecOps actually looks like
  • How to make DevSecOps repeatable and effective
