 Speaker – Infosec World USA

  •  Nov 9, 2021 | Virtual

Talk: “InfoSec Is Failing at SDLC”

I created this promo graphic

If your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) program doesn’t include stakeholders from development and engineering teams, that program has a massive untenable gap that will cost you time and money until it is fixed. Developers are your front line of defense. This will a brief yet meaningful session about breaking down the internal politics of SDLC, AppSec, CI/CD, and DevSecOps. Our dev and security teams *can* work together without spite but only when we understand and appreciate one another’s motivations and success criteria. It’s not “Them” vs. “Us”; it’s just “Us”, and this is how we get there.
