There are a lot of DevSecOps offerings that are just DevOps lipstick on a traditional security-as-a-gate pig. Also, security specialists, especially at large organizations, believe that better security comes from robust independent gating. On the other hand, DevOps has proven that you can safely deploy an order of magnitude or more faster than human gating can achieve.

What's needed to add security to DevOps are tools that work well with rapid-cycle CI/CD pipelines and an approach that reinforces the DevOps culture and process changes. This requires that security specialists become self-service toolsmiths and coaches and stop thinking of their jobs as gatekeepers.

This webinar will introduce a framework to accomplish this mindset shift. It includes guidance on the characteristics of tools compatible with DevOps. It has been successfully used in a large DevSecOps transformation at Comcast and has gained recognition in DevSecOps circles as a leading framework.
