Can DevSecOps really make developers fall in love with security or is platform engineering the way of the future?

Building secure software is significantly more efficient, cheaper and lower risk than needing to remediate insecure applications after the fact. This has led to an important evolution of the DevOps movement to encompass security awareness throughout the software development lifecycle.

The November LNETM will discuss this progression from DevOps to DevSecOps, in terms of successes and also challenges along the way, including how best to bring developers on this journey (willingly!), how to integrate processes for more efficient/automated development pipelines, how to address the fragmented tool market and the role that open-source tools play relative to proprietary solutions. It will also examine the role of security in the nascent Platform Engineering movement.

We will be joined by a top-quality industry expert panel to discuss this topic, including:

• Amanvir Sangha (Senior Engineering Manager for DevSecOps at London Stock Exchange Group)
• Artem Loenko (Director of Engineering at Bumble)
• Camille Plays (Senior Software Engineer at Wise)

The discussion will be moderated by Miriam Fahim from London Stock Exchange Group. There will be two flash talks at the start of the event:

• Entitle automates how permissions are requested, granted, and managed to eliminate bottlenecks and enable robust least privilege access programs (Ron Nissim, CEO & Co-Founder).
• Semgrep is an open-source platform designed to find bugs and dependency vulnerabilities, run security scans in CI and enforce standards across an organisations (Nitin Nayar, Head of EMEA Solutions Engineering)

We’re excited that Lucy Neal and AJ Phipps will also provide a quick overview of the Women in DevOps and Pride in Tech networks:

• Women in DevOps is a global community on a mission to close the DevOps gender gap and inspire the future leaders of the tech world. Having started life as a small offline network in 2017, they've since evolved into a worldwide initiative aimed at connecting and empowering individuals in both DevOps and the broader tech industry.
• Pride in Tech is a community that exists to make the working world a kinder and safer space for queer people. They host unique networking initiatives working in collaboration with the wider tech community, businesses, and brands who are passionate about creating a more equitable working world.

We are very grateful to London Stock Exchange Group for hosting this event and to all of our annual sponsors for their support.
