VM (Virgin Media) Digital and security teams worked with Accenture as a blended squad and delivered a highly successful and effective DevSecOps project in Summer 2021. This was a marquee project sponsored by the CDO to address how to create a left shifted security approach to address long wait times for security approvals where impeding unlocking value into production. The dedicated project team moved the idea from conception to go live in 9 weeks. To power the change the team were the first application of the new container platform (Anthos) VM’s new Google Cloud Platform. Since the launch date, we’ve had zero incidents (security or otherwise) to date; deployments are highly performant and provide scalable customer-facing systems. This approach has brought a paradigm shift on how VM looks at security in releasing to production and a major mind shift in the culture.
