DevSecOps is one of those buzzwords that can mean a lot of things or nothing at all. But where DevOps helped us gain a more holistic understanding of our delivery pipeline, DevSecOps does the same for our security efforts. Over the next two episodes of Dev Interrupted I explore what DevSecOps actually means to dev teams with John Willis.

The wars of the future will be fought with software and system architecture, as much as any other weapon. That’s why the US armed forces needed to start applying modern software methodologies at scale. The beginning of this incredible digital transformation began in 2017 when the US Air Force started a project called Kessel Run. Leading the project then, and now Chief of Platform of over 200 Kessel Run developers is my guest, Adam Furtado.  Join the Dev Interrupted Discord Community: discord.gg/devinterruptedVisit the Dev Interrupted Website: devinterrupted.com/Book a ►► LinearB DemoHave 60 seconds?
