Talk #1: DevSecOps: Securing applications with DevOps
DevOps is all about delivering new features as fast as possible. But what if this means that you're also shipping security issues faster than ever? Security practices must speed up to keep pace with DevOps. This session shows you how you can increase your deployment frequency while still making sure that you ship secure applications. You'll learn best practices and principles for securing your application in a cloud world. You’ll also learn about tooling such as Whitesource and Azure Security Center. In the end, you’ll have a good idea of how to integrate security checks into DevOps and deliver more secure applications.

Talk #2: Scaling DevOps as a digital agency
Digital agencies typically serve a lot of clients, and thus a lot of codebases and environments that need to be scalable, secure and robust. Clients tend to prefer cool features over topics such as infrastructure, security or automation. In this talk we we’ll cover our approach to standardisation of application codebases, CI/CD pipelines and the infrastructure, using a “Cookiecutter” methodology. By following this approach, we are able to implement high quality infrastructures for all of our clients, without spending a whole lot of time on it, allowing us to focus on features instead of infra.
