Secure by Collaboration: Building DevOps and Cybersecurity Bridges


Listen Later

In this episode of Cyber Fusion Forum, we down with Carl Pickering — a veteran Linux engineer and Lead Platform Engineer at MetDesk — to explore what secure software delivery really looks like at the coalface of DevOps and platform engineering. 

Carl shares candid insights from nearly three decades in tech, reflecting on: 

  • Building security into the dev cycle without slowing delivery 

  • The human element in mistakes, misconfigurations, and burnout 

  • How to use CVEs, SBOMs, and CI/CD pipelines to validate security early 

  • The Log4j scramble — and how he’d handle it now 

  • Creating business buy-in when pressure mounts to release fast 

This episode is packed with practical wisdom for any engineer, manager, or CISO trying to harden delivery pipelines without creating blockers — and for any business leader learning how (and when) to listen to their tech teams.
