DevSecOps & Network Security Upgrades

This event qualifies for * CPEs

This regional in-person symposium has been updated to a virtual event and is intended for practitioners from the Toronto metro area.

With a ratio of 100/10/1 for Development, Operations, and Security, security now needs to concentrate on creating tools, processes and opportunities for dev and ops that result in more-secure products, instead of trying to do it all themselves like they did in days past. We must build security into each of "The Three Ways":

Automating and/or improving efficiency of all security activities to ensure we don’t slow down developers
Speeding up feedback loops for security related activities so that we fix the bugs faster and sooner
Providing continuous learning opportunities in relation to security, for both teams

Security can no longer be a gate or stumbling block, and ‘adding security in’ can no longer be used as a justification for project delays. If developers are sprinting, then we need to sprint too. So put on your running shoes; it’s time for DevSecOps!

The shift to remote work amid the COVID-19 pandemic presents security teams with a unique opportunity to upgrade company networks without the usual challenges that come with most employees being in the office. This virtual symposium will explore how to seize this opportunity. Discussion points will include how to:

Spot opportunities to upgrade network security that wouldn’t exist if everyone were still physically in the office.
Determine which upgrades could be done quickly.
Ensure it cause as little disruption as possible, especially given changes that have already been made to ensure remote collaboration.
