Move fast, be safe.
What do these companies have in common?
<10 years
Tech Startups in Asia – #10YearChallenge
2009
vs
2019
How is that possible?
1. Existing solutions are no longer adequate
Provide A Terrible
User Experience
Enterprise Solutions Come
From The Waterfall Era
Enterprise Means
Overpriced
2. SaaS enable wide-spread distribution
Your Users Are EverywhereNo Need To Go
To A Physical Location
No Need to Create
WW Sales Teams
3. Cheaper to create & operate Software
Startup Ecosystems
Empower Entrepreneurs
Open Source Software
Provides Building Blocks
Cloud Computing Provides
Low Barrier of Entry
To summarize
The existing solutions
are ripe for replacement
Creating new technology
solutions was never faster
Software can be
Distributed globally
DevSecOps:
How important is it really?
• Agile took us from months to days to deliver software
• DevOps took us from months to minutes to deploy software
• More applications are mission critical
• Now security has become the bottleneck
The real impact of hacks & breaches
News is full of high-profile breaches that get widespread attention.
But they are not the only target of hackers
43% of all cyber attacks target
small businesses.
60%
of small businesses that are
Hacked go out of business
within 6 months.
1/5
data breaches are the result
of attackers abusing
insecure web applications.

Looks like we have a scale problem
- John Willis
You build it, you secure it.
Mindset within your product teams
• Have Shared Pain and Shared Goals
• Clearly defined global delivery goals (no competing KPIs)
• Measure outcome (customer value), not output
• Be Autonomous
• Maximize flow (minimize cycle times)
• Implement fast automated test suites
• Never pass defects downstream
• Create quality at the source (provide knowledge where needed)
• Full decision authority
• Full Accountability
• Good or bad - you own it. There is no one else to blame
Leveraging DevSecOps Principles

Security
DevSecOps - Monitor
Are your applications currently
under attack?
Are we automatically defending
against this attack?
What are attackers going after?
• Micro Segmentation
• Runtime Application Self Protection (RASP)
• Bug Bounties
Questions you should be able to answerAvailable Technologies
DevSecOps - Test
Do the latest changes introduce
new security issues?
Does our code contain hard-
coded secrets?
Do any of our 3rd party libraries have
known security issues?
Questions you should be able to answer
• Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
• Sensitive Information Scanners (SIS)
• Software Composition Analysis (SCA/CCA)
• Dynamic Security Scanning (DAST)
• Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST)

DevSecOps - Create
Do your teams know the most
common successful attacks?
Who is the dedicated security
contact in a team?
Do your teams know how
to detect and avoid them?
Questions you should be able to answer
• Security Awareness
• Secure Coding Training
• Shared Knowledge Base
• Security Focused Hackathons
• Security Champion Program
Available Options
DevSecOps
Do we really need it now?
There are some compelling statistics
• It’s 30 times cheaper to fix security defects in development vs production
• 80% to 90% of modern applications consist of open source components
• An average data breach costs 5M+ USD
• Most of the DevOps high-performers include security in their delivery process
Security as Competitive Advantage
