Session Name: Incremental Controls – Getting into Flow
The industry has spent a lot of time and effort to address the challenges of todays world, improve velocity, time to market, agility in general. New vocabulary has been phrased and team structures reshaped. With all the good sides some shadows have emerged, quality issues are often on the rise, malicious actors found a lucrative market. Regulators were late to the party, and with most regulatory frameworks built around operations are struggling to address the new challenges, change control is expensive and often becoming a bottleneck, exception management a burden. A new approach to Control is needed.
This presentation outlines a control framework that aligns and integrates regulatory controls into the structure of a DevSecOps incremental flow removing change control bottleneck while increasing the actual control oversight. Development can move from dominant release based development cycles to continuous delivery. Compliance is ensured along the path resulting in higher quality without additional cost. The Framework outlines how common control frameworks such a NIST can be mapped against nine control lanes aligned to standard DevSecOps practices. Deficiencies are caught early, quality and security is embedded into the entire process and regulatory requirements become a natural artifact not an on top deliverable.
