Abstract

DevSecOps practices foster collaboration among software development, security, and operations teams to build, test, and release software quickly and reliably. A high-stakes, high-security environment has challenged the implementation of these practices within the Department of Defense (DoD). The DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO) organization partnered with the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to conduct the first study to baseline the state of DoD DevSecOps, highlight successes, and offer insights for next steps. George Lamb, DoD’s Director of Cloud and Software Modernization, joins the SEI team to discuss key results and how they will help the DoD ensure that its software ecosystem is effective, scalable, and adaptable to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

What Attendees Will Learn:

Highlights from important success stories in DoD’s DevSecOps journey
How the DoD is harvesting grassroot successes by individual software organizations to implement those successes at scale
Keys to using data and building effective measurement strategies to enable optimization of software delivery
