We are looking for proposals in the following areas:

• Cultural change in organisations: how you’ve challenged the status quo and implemented a new approach to secure development and delivery
• Applying DevSecOps and continuously securing delivery in an organisation:
•     Development – e.g. how to integrate security in your development without impact
•     Testing – e.g. how to integrate security testing into a frequent release cycle
•     Public and private cloud – e.g. automating security using cloud services
•     Operations – e.g. how to introduce business-focussed monitoring
•     Security – e.g. how to benefit from continuous monitoring to reduce residual risk
•     DevSecOps – e.g. how to automate operational integrated security assurance

​​We welcome any feedback on our submission process, and we are here to help with anything along the way! Please get in touch at info@devseccon.com

Diverse Backgrounds

If the DevSecOps industry hasn't included you or others like you, please include this in your proposal. We want to make a space for the perspectives of people that are underrepresented in or excluded from technology: people of color, women, LGBTQ people, people with disabilities, students, and many more. 

Absolutely no vendor pitches

Many of our most successful talks are by people who sell products in the same area they’re speaking about. If your talk is focused on promoting or selling your product,, it’s a bad fit for DevSecCon.

We expect participants to follow these rules at all conference venues (virtual or in person) and conference-related social events.
