Keynote: The Right Side of DevSecOps: The Safety Dilemma Beyond Shift-Left
Tuesday July 21, 2026 12:45pm - 1:30pm EDT
Software Engineering Institute
DevSecOps transformed how we build software. Security entered the development pipeline, controls moved closer to engineers, and organizations became better at discovering defects before deployment. But while security moved left, production kept moving—becoming faster, more automated, more interconnected, and increasingly difficult for any individual or team to fully understand.Many of the most...
