Shifting security to the left – this is a goal and ideal often spoken of but few organisations have actually managed to operationalize this into their engineering practices. Allaying concerns around security teams fearing job losses and development teams resisting or lacking the sophisticated skills necessary to implement this are just among the many challenges that prevent engineering teams from achieving this vision. In this session, hear how Nicolas has within a year, driven significant transformation across the Department of Defense as it improves speed, reliability and cost effectiveness of its engineering systems for missiles, weapons, etc.

• Improving infosec team buy-in around secure developer practices and allying fears of reduction of security team role and responsibility
• To re-design developer KPIs to improve security thinking and practice right from the beginning of the development cycle
• Role of automation and technologies in reducing developer effort around security and focus more on innovation and customer centricity
• Overcoming challenges with creating an enterprise wide single platform for DevSecOps

As organisations drive up their level of production activities, so do the commitments around the compliance and monitoring tasks that seek to ensure quality and viability across the development and deployment cycle. How does an organization bring efficiency in the monitoring and altering process without impacting commercial goals and the end user experience?

• Improving the department’s ability to intuitively predict and resolve problems around production through the use of Machine learning
• Driving your teams to an efficient and stable production environment whilst maintaining speed-to-market
• Understanding the tools and capabilities required to apply machine learning techniques to your monitoring and alerting practices
• Overcoming challenges with handing over responsibilities to an intuitive technology and managing staff misconceptions and change resistance

The expectations of Technology are growing in demand from Business stakeholders year on year. Our business stakeholders want:

• Our services to be up as much as possible (if not 100%)
• To be able to release new features asap
• For Incidents to never occur
• For the cost delivery and maintenance to be as low as possible

Scott Blight has been leading Delivery teams across postal services, banking and now Tabcorp over the previous 10 years. In this session, he will outlay how you need to utilise these demands as the means of gaining buy in to uplift your Delivery practices and how the backbone of being able to deliver upon this is a strong DevOps strategy.
