DevSecOps “Friends”, Webinar Series: The One with the Governance Glow-Up

Could DevSecOps be any more essential for regulated industries? Navigating the complexities of regulated industries requires a careful balance between innovation and adherence to strict governance and compliance requirements. Just like Monica’s need for cleanliness, regulatory frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX demand meticulous attention to detail—so how can teams balance speed, security, and compliance? DevSecOps provides the framework to achieve this balance, enabling organizations to integrate security and compliance seamlessly into their development pipelines without sacrificing their ability to “pivot”.

In this webinar, we’ll explore strategies and tools to help you streamline governance and ensure compliance. Key takeaways include:

Integrating compliance early with shift left testing and security to embed regulatory requirements into CI/CD pipelines.
Automating governance for automated compliance checks, audit reporting, and risk mitigation.
Real-time visibility and response with proactive monitoring that provides continuous oversight and enables rapid incident response.

Whether you’re tackling GDPR, HIPAA, or industry-specific compliance, you’ll leave with actionable insights to ensure your processes are secure, efficient, audit-ready, and as smooth as Pheobe’s Smelly Cat serenades. So "perk" up your governance and register now!
