DAOPS Meetup 2021: Software Engineering, DevOps and DevSecOps
DAOPS Foundation—a non-profit organization committed to accelerating global digital transformation through technical standardization—is hosting the first ever DAOPS Meetup on May 18. The virtual meetup will bring together DevOps leaders from Sonatype, DevOps Institute, TARS Foundation and DAOPS Foundation to discuss the latest in software engineering and the latest DAOPS developments.
Here are the four sessions scheduled for the DAOPS Meetup.
ASEM, Next Generation Software Engineering Infrastructure
Software is the core of digital transformation. In the digital era, the way we produce software also needs to be digitized. Forest Jing, chief evangelist at DAOPS Foundation, explains how they plan to help global enterprises build a high-performance, technical organization based on Lean, Agile, CI/CD, SRE, DevSecOps, Cloud Native, etc., by developing the next generation software engineering infrastructure named ASEM.
Best DevOps Practice with TARS
TARS is a high-performance RPC framework based on name service and Tars protocol, also integrated administration platform, and implemented hosting-service via flexible schedule. During this session, Mark Shan, chair at Tencent Open Source and TARS Foundation, will share the best DevOps practice using TARS.
DevOps Hybrid Skills — Upskilling towards EverythingOps
Upskilling is a human endeavor and a key contributor to personal and career growth. This past year was like no other. As we progress through the “next normal” of this decade, one thing is certain—digital transformation relies on human skills transformation. DevOps has continued to shift left in recent years, becoming more integral to operational processes as manifests in domains such as secure-development-focused DevSecOps, secure-operations-focused SecOPs, artificial intelligence-based AIOps, machine learning-focused ModelOps, and data management-related DataOps. As each of these evolves, its specific required skill set is being fleshed out and internal IT staff have the opportunity to upskill to meet requirements. Join Dheeraj Nayal, global community ambassador at DevOps Institute, to learn all about DevOps upskilling.
The Rise of Next Generation Software Supply Chain Attacks
Cameron Townshend, Solution Architect from Sonatype
The adoption of open source in software development has grown exponentially over the past decade. Yet, the time required for hackers to exploit a newly disclosed open source vulnerability has shrunk by 93.5%. As development teams deliver new innovations, adversaries are also upping their game; something we’ve seen in recent high profile and devastating cyberattacks, such as Dependency Confusion.
Adversaries have the intent and ability to exploit security vulnerabilities in the software supply chain—and in some cases plant vulnerabilities themselves. They have increased scale through automation and improved breach success through precision targeting. Cameron Townshend, solution architect at Sonatype, urges developers to fight back by doing the same: automating security directly in the DevOps pipeline.

The Time for Collaborative Security Is Now
As Bruce Schneier famously said, “security is a process, not a product.” We commonly see companies pour millions of dollars into cybersecurity products and tools to protect against vulnerabilities and lower risks, and yet, more often than not these ample funds are not enough to defend against attacks.
Within the span of two decades, we have seen how social power can be leveraged to benefit the masses with applications like Waze, Airbnb, Uber and many others. This same innovative idea could revolutionize the way the cyber world operates by giving security professionals the edge in identifying potential threats.
CrowdSec CEO Philippe Humeau recognizes the capabilities of crowd power to invigorate the cyber realm. The community firewall created by CrowdSec uncovers thousands of malicious IP addresses worldwide and helps cripple hacker behavior before it can evolve into major cyberattacks and data breaches. Additionally, the start up just announced it raised $5 million to help take the collaborative firewall to the next level as they work to transform the cybersecurity landscape.
In the interview below, Philippe emphasizes the benefits of collaborative, open and transparent security environments in tipping the scales against the hacking dilemma that plagues companies across the globe.
Join Philippe at DevOps Connect 2021 on May 19, during the RSA Conference, where he expands on this topic in his session “The Age of Collaborative Security.” Also, learn more about CrowdSec and see a demo of the tool during his spotlight session, “Introducing CrowdSec, The Open-Source Massively Multiplayer Firewall.”

How to Bring DevOps and Security Teams Closer Together
More often than not, there seems to be friction between DevOps and security teams. Despite having the same end goals of creating the most secure code and preventing any potential security pitfalls, these groups of professionals often lack the unity needed to accomplish these end goals effectively and efficiently.
In the interview below, Naomi Buckwalter, director of information security and IT at Beam Technologies, addresses this issue and outlines key ways development and security teams can come together to better accomplish their shared missions. She stresses the importance of security professionals reaching out a hand to their DevOps counterparts to teach them how to be security-forward when writing code. However, she highlights how not every security expert has a developer background, so it really takes these two groups of skilled tech specialists working in unison to fill those knowledge gaps for each other.
Naomi brings over 20 years of IT and security experience to her upcoming session “Six Things Developers Want From InfoSec,” at DevOps Connect 2021, during the RSA Conference. She will expand on some of the key topics discussed in this interview during her talk on May 19 at 4 p.m. EDT.

Live Fireside Chat with Christopher Krebs: How to Combat Disinformation
We live in a digital world where most information is now found online. This makes it increasingly difficult to verify the veracity of information. Threat actors have been taking advantage of the digital landscape to spread disinformation, propaganda and conspiracy theories to manipulate the public and sow doubt, discord and chaos. How can we distinguish between fact and opinion, truth and supposition? How can we spot fake news and tackle disinformation?
Former Director of the Department of Homeland’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Co-Founder of Krebs Stamos Group, Christopher Krebs, will be speaking about disinformation at this year’s DevOps Connect: DevSecOps on May 19 at 12:00 p.m. EDT. During his keynote session, Krebs will explain what disinformation is, how to recognize fake news and the challenges disinformation poses to cybersecurity teams. He will reveal effective ways to combat disinformation, and how public and private partnerships can help. Krebs will also be answering questions from the audience during the live Q&A session.
Krebs is a founding partner of the Krebs Stamos Group, and previously served as the first director of the federal CISA for two years. Before that, he served in various roles at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), responsible for a range of cybersecurity, critical infrastructure and national resilience issues. He has also directed U.S. cybersecurity policy for Microsoft and advised industry and government clients on complex cybersecurity and business risk matters while serving in positions with Obsidian Analysis and Dutko Consulting.
DevOps Connect: DevSecOps has been part of the RSA Conference for six years in a row. This year, the main focus of the event is on “Securing the Cloud Native World.” Krebs has joined a stellar lineup of DevOps, cybersecurity and IT thought leaders as the DevOps Connect 2021 featured keynote speaker. Attend his live session, “Disinformation: As Dangerous as Cyber and Physical Threats,” and check out all the other breakout sessions to learn more about cloud security, DevSecOps, cybersecurity threats—such as disinformation—and more.
