Jack Nichols gave a talk on his personal journey from traditional operations to DevOps. He discussed how automation, infrastructure as code, and treating the application as infrastructure helped reduce time spent on operations. Justin Lundy then discussed statistics on DevOps adoption rates and benefits from surveys. He explained how DevOps allows for faster innovation and discussed how the Evident Security Platform helps organizations securely adopt DevOps practices and migrate applications to the cloud.

28. Evident Security Platform overview
- How to leading organizations migrate to the cloud faster
and more securely than the competition? The Evident
Security Platform.
- Evident provides continuous monitoring and assessment
of AWS services across all of a customers AWS accounts
and regions to identify potentially exploitable
vulnerabilities and facilitate rapid remediation while
integrating into DevOps workflows
29. Evident - continuous monitoring and self assessment
- Use ESP as a continuous monitoring and self assessment
security tool during the development phase for your
application or service
- Advanced customers integrate ESP into their DevOps
continuous integration lifecycle
30. Evident - address risks before (and in) production
- Developers can quickly identify potential vulnerabilities
early in the development cycle and not wait until test or
production phase to address them
- Harden security baselines in development before
promoting to test and production environments where
sensitive data is more likely to be present
31. Evident - preparing for Certification &
Accreditation (C&A)
- Continue to use ESP for self-scans as you prepare for
Certification and Accreditation
- As development continues, so does assessment, enabling
incremental adjustments to streamline efforts
32. Evident streamlining Body of Evidence collection
- As part of the Body of Evidence, provide copies of ESP
report on AWS infrastructure security configurations to the
C&A team
- Advanced customers automate the collection and
integration of this data into their products via our APIs
33. Evident - guided remediation for rapid response
- Guided remediation for your DevOps and Security teams
to quickly fix vulnerabilities and respond to compliance
incidents where compliance violations have occurred
- Advanced customers leverage ESP APIs to auto-
remediate vulnerabilities based on organizational policies.
1.) Etrade…. First Dot Com trading, founded on technology.... Mention the Monkey for fun.
2.) Everything was physical.
3.) In the past we actually had pagers for pager duty!
4.) NOC managing over 5000 servers and over 1000 network work infrastructure devices
1.) Ask people to guess the numbers…...
2.) Talk about the path of Operations to start scripting the basic operational tasks...
- Network using Linux, Perl, Net-Telnet-Cisco, Net-SNMP to automate tasks and infromation
- ET Unix Command infrastrcture
- Ability to “batch script” Website Update
3.) Guess the new numbers
4.) People where not fired, the moved to other department opportunities.
What did I learn? Automation is a key pillar to expanding your operations.
1.) Brightpoint…. Global Cell Logistics Company.... 43 offices in 26+ countries...Purchased by Ingram
2.) VMWare and Virtualization of Physical Servers was all the Rage
3.) The middle of the global recession…. Less money for updating
4.) Asked to manage a large widespread global infrastructure footprint, but with less than half of the resources as E*TRADE!
What did we learn….
1.) Standardize Models and Proccesses
2.) Create tools to pump out the standard models quickly.
3.) Leverage off the Shelf Mgmt & automation tools
Standardizing and virtualizing your infrastructure is another key pillar to improving your flexibility and expanding your automation
1.) Joined interactive and got to put the Infrastructure and Automation pieces together
2.) Supporting Interactives first generation cloud contact as a service CaaS in 10 DC’s around the world (really what we would consider hosted now).
3.) My first real view into exponential growth, infrastructure grew from 1500 nodes to over 5000 in 3 years
4.) Added strong Asset and Service Management Tools into the mix of automation….
….. But it was challenge.... Things failed... Patching 5000 nodes to meet compliance it time consuming and impacting
When we moved to EC2 with a fully virtualized infrastructure old operational questions such as..
How many servers do we have? How many Failures? What the MTBF?
Became…...
The best way I can explain this is......
