## Details Welcome to the DevSecOps London Gathering March Event on Wednesday 20 May. Along with our amazing talks we bring you the usual conversations, pizza and beer! **Location:** * 📍 **Venue:** Veracode, 36 Queen Street London, EC4R 1BN * 📅 **Date**: Wednesday, 20 May 2026 * 🕕 **Time**: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM ## Talk 1 - James Bevan **Abstract:** DevSecOps teams scan everything except the system governing their processes: Jira itself. When Jira configuration drifts, controls fail silently - workflows skip security gates, permissions grant unintended access, required fields disappear. This session demonstrates how configuration drift creates security gaps and shows live detection across workflows, permissions, and automation. With agentic AI now modifying Jira configs, continuous monitoring of your control plane isn't optional. **Speaker Bio**: James is co-founder and CRO at Solcoro, building a platform that gives Enterprises and Atlassian Solution Partners real visibility into Jira Cloud environments. Alongside Solcoro, he also runs CROquet - a UK-based GTM consulting business. He takes on a small number of advisory and project engagements, focused on incentive design and revenue architecture. This combination lets him apply GTM theory in practice, both inside a SaaS business and across client environments. ## Talk 2 - Derrisa Tuscano **Abstract** The widespread deployment of Generative AI has introduced novel security incidents ranging from prompt injection and data exfiltration to misinformation cascades that traditional incident response frameworks are ill equipped to handle. This talk introduces a Practical Incident Response Framework for Generative AI Systems designed to bridge established cybersecurity standards with emerging AI assurance principles. I will discuss a response centric taxonomy that identifies six recurrent incident archetypes and presents a structured playbook aligned with NIST SP 800 61r3, NIST AI 600 1, MITRE ATLAS, and the OWASP LLM Top 10. Attendees will learn how to reduce the cognitive load on security teams during non deterministic AI failures by using tailored runbooks, RACI matrices, and Swimlane diagrams. Ultimately, the session will demonstrate how organizations can adapt traditional response models to operationalize AI incident response effectively. **Speaker Bio:** Derrisa Tuscano is a Cybersecurity postgraduate from the University of Warwick and a published researcher in Generative AI incident response. Her professional background includes leading numerous end to end project life cycles for Applied AI solutions at Quantiphi Analytics Solutions, where she specialized in architecting virtual agents within Google Cloud environments. Derrisa has been recognized with the WMG Excellence Scholarship and the Warwick Award for her commitment to skills development. Her work focuses on bridging the gap between enterprise cloud delivery and robust cyber risk management to ensure secure and compliant AI implementation. ##

**The Future of Advanced Media Production in the UK** *Ideas. Innovation. Honest Conversation.* The UK has long punched above its weight in media production. But the sector is at an inflection point — and the decisions made now, about technology, talent, investment, and collaboration, will shape the next decade. This Meetup is a space to face that moment together. We're creating a space to do something the industry rarely makes time for: slow down, zoom out, and think collectively about where we're headed and how we get there well. **What we'll explore together:** * **Ideas & Trends** — What does the near future of advanced media production actually look like? What shifts in technology, audience behaviour, and production practice are quietly becoming impossible to ignore? * **Companies, Products & Innovations to Watch** — Who's doing something genuinely new? We'll spotlight examples of UK companies, tools, and initiatives that are pushing the boundaries of what advanced media production can be — and open the floor for attendees to share their own. * **Challenges & Risks** — Growth, talent pipelines, funding, infrastructure, the pace of technological change — the sector is navigating real headwinds. This is a candid space to name them, not gloss over them. * **Learning from Each Other** — The most valuable thing in this room will be the people in it. We'll create break-out rooms for you to mingle and to share about your work, your hopes for the sector, and where collaboration — the kind that actually happens — might be possible. **Who this is for:** If you work in, build for, invest in, or think continuously about the future of media production in the UK — this is your room. Whether you come with answers, questions, or simply curiosity, you'll find people worth talking to. *No panels. No pitches. Just good conversation with people who give a damn about where this sector is going.*
