The seven deadly diseases of DevOps

DevSecOps: Improving both ops and security

DevOps has been a boon to software development, marrying development with operations and stressing shared responsibility and accountability. Now, forward-thinking companies are realizing that security should be part of the DevOps mindset—thus the term DevSecOps. The name reflects the long-neglected, but tremendous, opportunity for collaboration between DevOps and security. However, there are pitfalls to watch out for in integrating security with established DevOps methods. In this week’s episode, Mike Kavis and guest John Willis, Vice President of DevOps and Digital Practices at SJ Technologies, dive deep into DevSecOps. John shares his insights on the “Seven Deadly Diseases” of DevOps—the worst of which is ignoring security—and provides tips for companies to help avoid them and finally make security a first-class citizen in the DevOps environment.

Google DevSecOps and you'll find a lot of great emerging opportunities of people who are doing the right things, finally getting security to break out of the kind of silo last mile, hey, let us look at it, no good. It's this integrated collaborative discussions.
