As technology teams continue to accelerate and evolve, so do the quantity and sophistication of security threats. It's easy to emphasize the importance of security and suggest that teams need to prioritize it, but doing so becomes an extensive change management exercise. How can we rise to the challenge without slowing our software delivery velocity?

Our own lived experience combined with a multi-year research program led by the DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) team can be used to help you and your team move beyond implementation of specific tools to a people-centric approach to organizational transformation.

This talk will dive into some findings of the DORA research and recommendations including:

• How to measure software delivery and operations performance.
• A secure software development lifecycle is both essential and drives organizational performance.
• The essential elements necessary to transform a product security program.
• Healthier, collaborative cultures have a head start on implementing a mature security program.

Learn how top performers that met or exceeded their reliability targets were twice as likely to have security integrated into their software development process.

Spoiler alert! The best security teams focus on collaboration and getting better at getting better. You can do this, too!
