DevOps plays a crucial role in an organization’s IT landscape. Even though it’s 2023, there are still hurdles that agencies need to overcome in order to implement the best practices for their DevOps environments. One challenge could be the initial cost of a platform, especially in comparison to legacy platforms that have already been deployed. Another issue is the turnover rates for DevOps professionals. Some candidates are more li...

With many older systems in place, the government is one sector that could use DevOps the most. However, like many industries, there are often challenges adopting new ways of doing things. That being said, this panel will focus on roadblocks towards DevOp adoption and addressing how to overcome them. What are the challenges to Devops adoption? What are steps that help make DevOps a reality? Join us for this discussion as topic experts will disc...

The current Global Power Competition (GPC) climate can pose a change to the acquisition and fielding process of most systems. It is important to understand the 21st Century T&E Tools to improve testing to meet the GPC demand. How will the military budget, DoD, DHS, and Commercial Industry adjust in a time of risk and change? Is your organization ready? This year the Symposium will be coordinated by the Hampton Roads Chapter with Volunteers...

Cloud computing has introduced new complexities to the public sector, with teams now being responsible for maintaining scalable infrastructure and applications in increasingly complex and distributed environments. The demand for automation has produced a new role, which has arguably become one of the most critical functions in a cloud-first business: the site reliability engineer. DevOps has pushed a shared responsibility for the reliability a...

Shifting left and building software with security and compliance integrated from the start is critical to increasing trust in our digital infrastructure. As we have seen through recent executive orders and Department of Defense (DoD) memos, creating a foundation that enables a continuous ability to quickly certify and deliver software is critical to federal organizations being responsive enough to meet their missions. Enabling the Assessor to...

The increasing pressure by hostile nation-states and other bad actors who are relentlessly probing the networks of federal, state and local governments underlines the importance of effective attack surface management. Government and military networks need to have comprehensive end-to-end discovery and management capabilities. This includes both their on-premises and cloud attack surfaces. Detecting unknown assets, unsanctioned connections, mis...

Some of the most devastating cyber breaches are originating from the DevOps space. Privileged Access Management (PAM) is a critical area of access risk management and identity security at any agency. Privileged accounts have traditionally been given to administrators to access data and applications but with the shifts towards remote work and users, access management needed to adapt. Changing business practices, hybrid IT, cloud, and other form...

Government agencies everywhere generate massive amounts of data. For many agencies, it is the core of their operations, whether processing benefits applications, screening financial transactions for illegal activities, measuring the impact of weather events, or myriad other uses. Data is critical to making DevOps (DevSecOps, too) work. It is the reason migrating to the cloud opens up such possibilities for new services. It is why setting up a...
