Session Name: DevOps Moves Pretty Fast. If You Don’t Stop and Secure It Once in a While, You Could Miss It

Remember Ferris Bueller... Bueller... Bueller? Ferris woke up one morning saying "how could I be expected to handle school on a day like this?" and that begins a day filled with seeking adventure. Well trying to elegantly intersect security with DevOps these days can also leave us feeling a bit like Ferris did about high school that day. But it doesn't have to be. From the iconic opening scene, the infamous Mr. Peterson call, Abe Froman - Sausage King of Chicago, and more, Ferris provides us with key insights on the impact security can have. Join us as we borrow a few lessons from Ferris to see what we can do to move security from mundane to marvelous.
