The Latest Ed TALKS
Premiered: September 13, 2023 at 12 pm EST / 9 am PST
DevOps is often characterized as a mindset shift, but that undermines the critical cogs that actually make it work – the people, technology, and processes.
This EdTalks will discuss the current state of DevSecOps, debunk common myths, and offer practical tips on streamlining security adoption. Specific topics include:
- Our obsession (and missed opportunity) with shifting left
- Implications of AI and other emerging technology
- Is cloud security now software security?
- Measuring risk – moving beyond scans and vulnerability counts

About Ed TALKS
For two decades, I’ve been fortunate to have crossed paths with respected industry luminaries and practitioners. On a regular basis, I invite them to discuss practical approaches to securing the software ecosystem based on today’s realities: complex tech stacks, evolving threats, motivated attackers, mounting regulations, and unsettling skill gaps.
Come join us. You may laugh, cry, reflect, or learn – just like your relationship with security. Either way, Ed TALKS will be: engaging, realistic, and diverse.
