Abstract

Many believe that better security comes from robust independent gating, but DevOps has proven that you can safely deploy orders of magnitude faster without human gating. Comcast uses a DevSecOps approach which focuses on automation, speed and team ownership of end-to-end product security lifecycle. It’s agile and developer-focused. It’s about building security in rather than bolting it on.

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn our seven-part approach, including executive sponsorship, artisanship, SDL, tooling and more.
  • Understand how and why to focus on DevOps teams, while not leaving others behind.
  • Find out why security is not just the right thing to do, but how it’s critical to make it the easy thing to do.
