DevOps Distilled: The DevOps Panel at AppSec USA

Presented at AppSec USA 2012, Oct. 25, 2012, 4 p.m. (45 minutes)

DevOps is the rage these days, but what does it really mean and what does it look like for the AppSec community? This panel will explain DevOps and explore its impact on AppSec and most importantly we will look at how DevOps is changing the shape of the business. If people in your organization are talking about doing 10 deploys a day to production or are discussing chef and puppet, then this panel is for you. If you are interested in cucumber and integrating security testing into your continuous integration tooling, then this panel is for you. If you are just plain confused about DevOps and think it is just a new buzzword, then this panel is for you. If you are using the cloud at all, then this panel is for you. This panel features some of the best and brightest minds in the DevOps community and is a don't miss event. We will be taking questions from the audience ahead of time by tweeting with the hashtag #DevOpsPanel the week leading up to the conference.
