The Yin and Yang of DevSecOps - The 3 Gotchas of a Successful DevSecOps Adoption

Synopsis:
The benefits and positive outcomes (Yang) of DevSecOps adoption have been undisputedly proven to significantly outweigh the required investment in effort and tooling. However, in the hype of excitement, the dark side (Yan) of DevSecOps adoption is generally overlooked, underestimated, and catches us by surprise.

The talk will discuss the top 3 "gotchas" DevSecOps teams experience as they successfully cross over to DevSecOps model adoption. For each "gotcha" we'll discuss and interactively share practical strategies for addressing the new challenges. Join us to learn, commiserate, and contribute!
