Presentation Restrictions

We have a strict “No vendor pitches” policy. We are looking for practitioners who can tell their story and help others see the path ahead. If you are a vendor, consultant or company who sells services or products, encourage your clients to tell their story

How Submissions are Evaluated

We are looking for practitioners to discuss the unique challenges of adopting security into the DevSecOps pipeline, the obstacles to security being a contributing and valued partner in DevOps and the ways to overcome them. Specific topics we are looking for include, but are not restricted to:

• How did you get senior management buy-in? What did you do? How did you quantify the business value?
• Examples of security teams being integrated into the CI/CD or DevOps process
• How did you overcome objections inside the organization?
• How did you design and implement effective controls to mitigate security risks?
• Which business area (and application) did you start with, why, and what did you do?
• What were the top challenges, and how did you overcome them?
• What were your top mistakes, and what advice would you give as a result?

Submission Guidelines

• Speaking slots are 20 minutes.
• Attendees must be able to use the bulk of the presentation’s lessons without buying or using a particular tool or service (talk about the practice and solution, not about the tool or vendor)
• Each submission should end by communicating the core value in your message: how did you get security integrated into your DevOps initiative and what value did it provide to your project.
