Practical DevSecOps Using Security Instrumentation

The traditional “outside in” scanning and firewalling approach to application security has failed. Vulnerability rates are still staggering, attacks are increasing in volume and severity, and security is disrupting software pipelines.  We need a new approach to security that doesn’t slow development or hamper innovation.  In this talk, we will show how you can ensure software security from the “inside out” by leveraging the power of software instrumentation. Unlike scanning and firewalling, this approach is fast, accurate, and scalable. Security observability also creates an environment where development, security, and operations teams can collaborate effectively. In this talk, we’ll show how software security instrumentation works, how it’s being used in many organizations, and what the future holds for DevSecOps.Coming Soon!
