DevSecOps – It’s A Team Sport

Presented at Diana Initiative 2020 Virtual, Aug. 22, 2020, 10 a.m. (60 minutes)

<p>DevSecOps derives its own name from being an amalgamation of formerly three separate common teams within most IT organizations, <strong>Dev</strong>elopment, <strong>Sec</strong>urity and <strong>Op</strong>eration<strong>s</strong>. With the onslaught of new technologies and methods to build, deploy and secure such solutions, it's become paramount to unite and streamline these traditionally separate activities. This doesn't come without its own set of challenges; from turf wars to knowledge and abilities, with most of the effort trying to wed-up the right puzzle pieces to ensure overall team successes. </p> <p>There’s also no success in this area given to a group of “rock stars” or “prima donnas” but more from “roadies” and “sidemen” who work to make sure the whole show is going to be good rather than try to take center stage. Finding, identifying, and nurturing the staff and talent that is willing to work through the change not only within the IT organization, but are also ambassadors to the rest of the organization to help them through the new ways of exploiting the new ways of integrating technology into business.</p>
