Secure Software, Inside and Out: Seven Steps
As a 40-year software industry veteran and 18-consecutive-year Gartner Magic Quadrant winner for data protection, Veritas Technologies constantly works to generate secure software. Leveraging CISA's 'Secure by Design' principles for developers, learn how Veritas incorporates people, processes, and technology to generate software products that are secure.
Incidents such as SolarWinds presented an inflection point for Silicon Valley. The supply chain, or sequence of tools and activities employed to produce software products, has come under intense scrutiny. In this presentation, we explain seven key phases of our SecDevOps process and how we employ chaos engineering to generate a robust product relied upon by 95% of global Fortune 100 companies.
1. 7 key steps in a mature SecDevOps process
2. How chaos engineering techniques yield a better software product:
- 2A. The Veritas REDLab
- 2B. How end users can validate secure code generation
- 2C. How to 'stress test' software during multiple points of the build process
3. How to motivate technical teams - hint - role-playing, movie stars, and fresh content
4. Foundational guidance for secure software development - what's new
