This panel, led by Chris Gruel of Akeyless, explores the nuanced and multidimensional nature of DevSecOps, avoiding war stories but offering insightful generalities that resonate with a broad spectrum of enterprises.

Our expert panelists will demystify the actual definition of DevSecOps in contemporary contexts and delve into critical decision-making aspects: whether to outsource or keep operations in-house, the importance of comprehensive design reviews beforehand, and the strategic integration of tooling for both security and observability.

The conversation will further navigate the complexities of handling security findings—from motivating developers to prioritize these findings to effectively managing technical debt related to security. With an emphasis on gaining management buy-in and the indispensable role of automation in scaling DevSecOps efficiently, this panel addresses the heart of strategic, effective, and scalable application security in today’s fast-paced tech landscape.

This 45-minutes session includes a candid discussion and a live Q&A segment, illuminating how automation isn’t just a tool—it’s often the linchpin for improving an array of business metrics in our increasingly digital world.
