About the Event

Have you heard the terms “DevOps” and “DevSecOps” and wondered what all the fuss was about? This presentation will provide an overview of DevOps/DevSecOps, discuss how DevSecOps enhances software productivity and quality, and look at how industry in general and the defense electronics industry in particular are responding to customer demands with DevSecOps. We’ll look at The Three Ways, software pipelines, and challenges to adoption.
