DevSecOps is all about incorporating security into every aspect of software development – without compromising productivity or speed. This doesn't just require developers to assume more security responsibilities but rather involves security teams’ participation in early-stage development. While many organizations are beginning to embrace DevSecOps to integrate security into the development process, they face many challenges. 

Infrastructure as Code and Policy as Code have become popular ways to predictably and consistently provision infrastructure and manage security and compliance. Zero Trust is a security model that assumes all users, devices, and applications are untrusted and must be verified before being granted access to resources. In this webinar, we will explore how the alignment of Zero Trust principles with DevSecOps practices helps to increase security and resilience in modern digital environments including all cloud, on-premises and distributed endpoints.

Topics to be covered include: 

- The foundational principles of DevSecOps and its evolving landscape 
- The benefits and challenges of DevSecOps
- Implementing Zero Trust principles in DevSecOps

Enabling Zero Trust Principles within DevSecOps
