Implementing DevSecOps in the DoD by Nicolas Chaillan Failover Conf 2021

Delivering software quickly and securely is important for every organization, but it's even more important at the US Department of Defence (DoD) where reliability directly impacts national security. Nicolas Chaillan (Chief Software Officer, US Air Force) will discuss the DoD Enterprise DevSecOps Initiative—an initiative he leads along with the DOD’s Chief Information Officer that brings automated software tools, services and standards to DoD programs. He'll also share about Platform One, the Air Force's DoD-wide DevSecOps Enterprise Level Service that provides managed IT services capabilities, on-boarding, support, and baked-in zero trust security. This insight from operating at the most rigorous level will help you level up your own organization.

Creating a Culture of DevSecOps

Security is hard to get right in a world of continuous delivery and containers. The increasingly diverse technology landscape and relentless speed of innovation afford us no time to step back and take stock of our risks, and even less time to perform remediation. In the past, we could perform point-in-time security audits, which was OK when our systems were mostly static, save a quarterly release. But that’s not the world we live in today.
