Nicolas Chaillan,

Chief Software Officer United States Department of Defense (US Keynote)

Agenda Day 1

10:30 AM US Department of Defense Case Study – Creating An Enterprise DevSecOps Platform Strategy & Cultural Transformation In The World’s Largest Organisation

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
