Dear Security, Compliance, and Auditors, We’re Sorry. Love, DevOps.

Stop it with the DevSecAuditComplianceOps buzzwords. Let’s simply talk about Modern Governance.

Great software requires governance. Governance stinks because we do it wrong. I promise to give you the means to go from commit to production with 100% no-human-hands. All while meeting visibility, security, compliance, and audit requirements without fail. Modern Governance applies to standard line-of-business software, machine learning, edge, IoT, and any other software artifact.

DevOps solved the Developer and Operators conflict. It forgot other essential folks of the delivery lifecycle: Security, Compliance, and Audit.

We will talk about Modern Governance. Modern Governance resolves governance toil with a software engineering approach. It is no different than applying Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) principles & practices to the dull, mundane, and toil-ridden governance processes.

SBOM, Is It 42?

Have you heard of Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs)? It's okay if you haven't because they seem to have appeared out of thin air! Nobody knows what they are one day, and the next day, everybody asks why you don't have one.

But fear not, my friends, because SBOMs are the new necessity for communicating your software composition to 3rd parties. Let's set the record straight and dispel some myths surrounding them. We'll show you a clear path for when and why you may need an SBOM, and how to engage with one like a pro.

Join us for a fun-filled, myth-busting adventure into the world of SBOMs!

The Mafia Offer - An Offer Too Good To Refuse

Are you tired of companies accepting vast amounts of undesirable effects? Especially those pesky highly regulated companies! Don't worry, my friends. You don't have to put up with that stuff anymore! What these companies need is a Mafia Offer. No, not an intimidating enforcer, but an offer so good that no one can refuse!

So, what is a Mafia Offer, you ask? It's a fundamental change to internal operations that resolves a customer's core issue or market problem. Popularized by Goldratt in his book "It's Not Luck," this offer is the ultimate solution to your company's problems.

Join us for this talk, and we'll cover everything you need to know about the Mafia Offer, from the core internal-market problem to address to the litany of undesirable effects and, of course, the inner workings of this elusive offer. Trust us. You won't want to miss it!
