DevSecOps should not exist: DevOps is not being done right unless there is a pervasive focus on security. The overarching goal is to build and operate secure software; to write secure code and defend deployed applications. Security is not a matter of if, it's when. During this TEC37, our experts will explore how security is integrated throughout the Software Delivery Lifecycle process and why this is important for companies leveraging modern applications.

Software and applications are more critical to government success today than ever before. From project management software, to website uptime, to applications that deliver services; organizations need OpenShift and DevOps more than ever. This Public Sector Tech Talk will provide an overview of the security benefits of OpenShift and compatible cloud capabilities for government organizations. This episode will also discuss the acceleration of DevOps in the public sector.

With the implementation of the President's Executive Order (EO) on Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity, public sector agencies were placed under immense pressure to increase adoption of emerging technologies as part of an enhanced approach to cybersecurity through initiatives related to software supply chain security and integrity. Looking back one year later, how has the nation's cybersecurity improved and what still needs to be done? What do things look like for public sector agencies moving forward? During this Public Sector Virtual Roundtable, World Wide Technology (WWT) and GitLab will look back at the Cyber EO – analyzing its immediate impact, how agencies reacted and responded, and the lasting significance of overhauling our national approach to cybersecurity. The event will also feature a demonstration of how agencies can implement the latest NIST requirements into their cybersecurity strategy to adhere to the EO mandates, leveraging the DevOps and DevSecOps best practices.

Public sector organizations are discovering that the legacy applications they've relied upon to support their missions and operations cannot deliver the agility and efficiency required today. However, as they look to embrace modern apps and microservices, they need to ensure that they are not creating unintentional security gaps. During this Public Sector Virtual Roundtable, World Wide Technology (WWT) and F5 will discuss some of the challenges public sector organizations have faced and share best practices for securely implementing modern applications and microservices. Additionally, they will highlight real-world examples of how organizations across public sector successfully shifted from monolithic applications.
