From containers to Kubernetes to cloud, it can be hard enough to keep up with the technologies let alone how to secure them. 

Rory McCune was there at the inception.  Starting as a pen tester looking into  containers he has become one of the world's foremost Kubernetes security authorities.

In this episode Glenn and Steve talk to him about the early days of containers, the orchestration wars, the first ever Kubernetes CVE and how security chases a technology maturing at breakneck speed.

In this episode, Steve and Glenn speak with Ed Tucker and Gary Robinson about the differences between DevSecOps personas.

DevSecOps Personas – what Developers, Security, and Operations think when it comes to people/tech/processes/culture when it comes to rolling out DevSecOps programs.  Each of these teams have different drivers, ambitions, blockers, and challenges when it comes to a successful DevSecOps program.  As Dale Carnegie said, ‘The only way to get anyone to do anything, is to make them want to do it’ -  all the tech and process in the world isn’t going to make it successful if the people and culture (and heart) are not in it.   So let’s share what we’ve seen from 100s of company interactions, understand better where everyone is coming from, and how to approach a DevSecOps program that can move the needle like Marty McFly playing Doc Brown’s guitar.   We’ve love this to be interactive, so bring your stories and questions.

Gary Robinson has been working in software and cyber security for 20+ years, as a coder, pen tester, consultant, Security Architect at Citi, Global Board member at OWASP, and heading up Uleska to focus on DevSecOps for the last 5 years.  Gary’s focused on the people, process, technology, and culture aspect of DevSecOps – as someone who’s worked in all three spaces during his time – and what drivers, blockers, etc each experience with ‘DevSecOps’, ‘shift-left’, ‘secure by design’, and the rest.

Ed Tucker is an exceptional Cyber Security leader, with extensive knowledge across most sectors, as a defender, vendor, consultant and founder.  He was the 2017 European Chief Information Security Officer of the Year, UK Security Professional of the Year, and Security Leader of the Year and has been globally recognised for his vision and delivery.

Title: Threat Modeling - A Manifesto And Some Code

Threat Modeling: Why we think it matters for you, and how you can implement it in your organization.

Modeling: How to model your system in an expressive way.

Eliciting threats: What are some of the major approaches in use and how can it be done closer to the developer and at Agile speed.

Evolution: Automated threat analysis using an open source tool (pytm). We will talk through the making of pytm and then do a demo.

Guest Speakers

Florin Coada
I've been working in the Application Security testing space for the last eight years. I was lucky enough to experience many customer environments and different testing technologies (SAST, DAST, IAST, SCA). Over the years, I became more interested in SAST, and I am currently working as a product manager in this space. One of my areas of personal interest is how we enable developers to become more independent and get security teams to trust them more. I'm always up for a talk about security, gaming and a combination of both.
