DevOps – An opportunity for better Security

Speaker: Richard Bussiere, Director Product Management APAC, Tenable

DevOps increases the velocity of software development over traditional waterfall development. This allows for business needs to be rapidly met, improving customer experiences and reducing time to market for new features. This velocity creates additional risks to the enterprise when the development takes place without information security organisations being involved.

Interestingly, DevOps creates the opportunity to improve overall security if security controls (InfoSec) are integrated into the DevOps pipeline. This session will discuss how to achieve this integration, resulting in a proactive rather than a reactive security stance.
