DevSecOps in Practice, What Can and Can’t be Automated
Application Security is a critical part of DevSecOps that isn’t well represented in many projects. This talk will explain how to factor application security into short feedback cycles so that teams aren’t overwhelmed by application security issues or practices at the end of a release or at any time. One of the challenges we have in using Application Security practices is where to start, and how to get value. The world is being driven more and more by network-connected applications and services that are constantly under attack from the curious and malicious. What should you do If you aren’t...
