Securing your Software Supply Chain

Composability has rapidly accelerated the pace of software development by allowing engineers to reuse openly shared libraries and packages. But the widespread adoption of these components also makes them an enticing avenue of attack for malicious actors. In this fireside session, André Arko (Head of Open Source, Ruby Central) and Dustin Ingram (Director, Python Software Foundation) will join Emilio Escobar (CISO, Datadog) for a discussion about securing your software supply chain.

Creating a Culture of Security

Just as DevOps is more than just CI/CD tooling, DevSecOps is more than simply scanning code for vulnerabilities in your deployment pipeline. Creating a culture where every engineer is invested in reducing risk and values security can be challenging. In this panel session, we’ll chat with engineering leaders from security, development, and operations to learn how they’re fostering a culture of security in their organizations.
