Many organizations still make the mistake of treating security as an afterthought instead of considering it a top priority from the start, which can lead to breaches and major losses for their business. By adopting a DevSecOps approach, security is integrated early in the SDLC to identify and address potential risks promptly.
In part 3 of this series, hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Andi Mann (Sageable), Shannon Leitz (ThirdScore) and Tracy Bannon (Mitre) as we discuss how to adopt the "Sec" in the DevSecOps model and promote a security culture within an organization so that security becomes a shared responsibility.

Automation is critical to DevOps success. Test automation accelerates and simplifies the software development process, empowering DevOps teams to deliver high-quality, secure and reliable products to market faster without sacrificing crucial debugging and troubleshooting processes. Automated testing minimizes the chance of human error, removes redundancy and increases collaboration between DevOps and QA teams. On the other hand, over-automating can also be counterproductive. So how much test automation is too much? How do you find a balance? And what tools should you use? Join host Mitch Ashley and a panel of distinguished DevOps and QA leaders Tracy Ragan (DeployHub), Martin Klaus (Tricentis) and Raju Chavan (T-mobile) to discuss:- How automated testing empowers DevOps teams- How to incorporate automated and continuous testing into your DevOps workflow- How to scale automated testing- How to choose the right tools to make test automation smooth and easy

Automation is the key to DevOps success, and CI/CD is the driving force behind it. The CI/CD pipeline is a series of automated workflows that help DevOps teams reduce manual tasks, achieve faster feedback, identify and fix issues early in the SDLC and improve the quality of software. However, keeping up with the latest CI/CD best practices and tools can be challenging.In this episode, hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Bryan Cole (Tricentis), Adam Arakelian (Dell), Jacqueline Porter (GitLab) and Ravi Lachhman (Harness). This panel of DevOps leaders breaks down everything you need to know about CI/CD workflows to help you get started with your DevOps implementation. Our experts define CI and CD, share tips and tricks for building a CI/CD pipeline from scratch and discuss the best practices and key metrics to measure the success of your CI/CD pipeline.

Shift left has more than its fair share of admirers and advocates, as DevOps and DevSecOps initiatives aim to move responsibility for building and securing applications as early (or as far left) in the development life cycle as possible. But what about its more traditional (and much maligned) cousin, shift right? Shift right, or testing in production, was once taboo and is still discouraged by many. But testing in production is becoming a more common occurrence. The main goal of shift right testing is to spot and correct any issues that may not have been detected during the preceding development process. So, why does it have a bad reputation? Hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Chris Riley (HubSpot), Nora Jones (Jeli) Paul Bruce (Tricentis) and Shamim Ahmed (Broadcom) as they debunk the myths of testing in production and discuss why it is important for your business. Join us to learn the truth about shift right testing best practices and trends for maintaining system integrity.
