The Software Mindset

In this episode, we debunk the myth that security and developer velocity are inherently at odds. Dapo & I explore how organizations can implement security measures that enhance rather than hinder development speed, examining modern DevSecOps practices, shift-left security approaches, and automation tools that integrate seamlessly into development workflows.

• "What if your security practices could make your developers move faster? The data shows companies with mature security integration deploy 3x more frequently with 80% fewer hotfixes."

• "The most innovative companies aren't choosing between security and speed—they're weaponizing security as their competitive advantage in getting to market faster."

Learn practical strategies for building a security culture that accelerates innovation rather than blocking it, with real-world examples from companies that have successfully balanced these seemingly competing priorities.

Host: Samuel Arogbonlo, Senior Site Reliability Engineer (IaaS & KaaS).

Guest: Oladapo Babalola, Senior Kubernetes Platform Engineer at Marsh McLennan. He has security experience of almost a decade and transforming practices within the ecosystem. You can reach him on LinkedIn here.

This episode addresses the definition of culture and its implication in different parts of West African society. Culture has more or less become a detour in today's society especially in communities that have a history of being colonized by Europeans. While West Africans and other societies try to trace their steps back to the pre-colonial cultural activities, it is important they set aside both cultures and choose to stay in the middle where they can decide what is right and of a fact then make that a true culture out of it. The recording had interesting visitors; Ogebe Emmanuel, Kemi Adeleye, and Favor Eze. You can reach them via twitter @emmanuel_ogebe, @ and @miz__fafa respectively.
