AISA NSW Branch Event | 21 February 2024

AISA Branch Meeting
Hosted by the AISA NSW Branch, please join us for a face-to-face meeting and networking opportunity featuring two interactive presentations from our guest speakers Dr Tim Nedyalkov, Technology and Cyber Security Expert and Matt Preswick, Lead Enterprise Solutions Engineer at Wiz.

 





Presentation 1 Title:
Shifting Left in DevSecOps and integrating security from the get-go


DevSecOps is essential in modern software development, integrating security from the outset, enhancing cyber resilience and reducing risks from late or post-production vulnerabilities. The session will delve into the 'Shifting Left' concept, highlighting its benefits for Engineering, Security and Operation practices and addressing the challenges and solutions in adopting this approach.

The session will provide a comprehensive overview of the 'Shifting Left' concept in DevSecOps, emphasising the future shift of security measures from traditional later stages to the earlier phases of the development cycle. It will discuss the anticipated benefits of this approach, such as cost-effectiveness and an enhanced security posture, highlighting how early integration can lead to more robust and secure software solutions. Furthermore, the session will explore the pivotal role of automation in this paradigm shift, detailing upcoming tools and methods for early security checks and risk assessments.

It discusses opportunities to seamlessly integrate tools and metrics within continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, streamlining the development process while bolstering security measures. The session will conclude with a Q&A session, enabling attendees to delve deeper into topics of particular interest, thereby enhancing their understanding and applicability of the 'Shifting Left' concept within their organisations.
