Any optimization outside the critical constraint is an illusion. In DevSecOps , the size of the security team is always the most scarce resource. The best way to optimize the security team is automation. This talk provides an overview of key DevSecOps automation principles and provide real world experiences of creating DevSecOps Pipeline’s augmented with automation in multiple enterprises. Getting started can feel overwhelming but this talk provides coverage of the fundamental building blocks of adding automation to an DevSecOps program including API integration, webhooks, Docker, ChatOps and a vulnerability repository to manage all the issues discovered. The talk covers how DevSecOps automation has provided significant increases in productivity at several different companies in different verticals. Multiple potential architectures for DevSecOps automation will be covered with the goal of inspiring the audience to adopt one of these for their program. By taking an example, customizing it to fit their situation, attendees will have a roadmap to start their security automation journey.
