Innovation Offense - UNITING DevSecops

Fireside with Jack Maher - Digital Transformation Evangelist and DevOps Ambassador
Insights by Michelle Dufty - Senior Vice President of Marketing - Sonatype
Moderator: Alison McCauley - CEO of Unblocked, emerging technology futurist and Forbes contributing writer

This is NOT your typical security conversation. We won’t be talking about how to play better "perimeter defense" at the end of your digital supply chain. Instead, we will be talking about how to play better “innovation offense” at the beginning of your digital supply chain.

- How to continuously identify and remediate open source risk, without slowing down innovation
- Ways to integrate security guardrails directly within your DevOps pipeline
- The importance of uniting developers, security, and operations on the same team.

A look at the new value streams
SD Times (Software Development)
March 10, 2021
We have many value streams in our organizations, and they intersect, diverge, and converge as they represent everything we do. Understanding these complex and complicated relationships and managing to outcomes today requires a microservices approach to value stream management. The ability to manage our value streams can address the specific and individualized views of the many ways value is created, flows through, and is delivered within an organization. We begin with the traditional view of value streams and value stream mapping and finish with contemporary opportunities to manage our value streams better with observability.

This session looks at examples of new value streams, such as regulatory compliance, information security and governance controls, as well as the next generation of platforms and what they will need to offer.

Deterministic Process Design
US Patent & Trademark Office
December 25, 2018
Deterministic Process Design is an activity design model in which business processes have no randomness, Randomness most frequently happens when teams have no framework or "guard rails" for work execution, and do what feels right, right now. The deterministic approach provides clarity and transparency, which does much more, but also enables automated provisioning, work flow measurements, and work in progress monitoring.
