FCW Editorial Webcast: Software Factories: DevSecOps at Government Scale

As federal agencies have embraced agile software development, many have struggled to expand their initial DevSecOps efforts across the enterprise. Solutions and strategies that supported pilot efforts often don’t scale, especially as the security requirements continue to expand and evolve.

To support DevSecOps at government scale, many of these organizations are building out software factories -- suites of tools and services to standardize and streamline development, along with the specialized personnel to leverage them. The goal is a Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery pipeline with a Continuous Authority to Operate. This FCW editorial webcast will look at some of the government’s leading software factory initiatives to identify the common obstacles and proven approaches for agencies seeking to build out their own factories.

Topics covered in the webcast will include:

• Where software factories have taken hold in both defense and civilian agencies
• Critical components of a successful software factory
• ATO requirements and how to support them
• Workforce and training considerations
