Podcast about DevSecOps

We talk like no one is listening except that we record it

This is the show by and for DevSecOps practitioners who are trying to survive information overload, get through marketing nonsense, do right technology bets, help their organizations to deliver value and last but not the least to have some fun. Tune in for talks about technology, ways of working and news from DevSecOps.

We created this podcast because we realized that we were not the only ones to struggle with security on a daily basis. It is also difficult to find information without marketing content or a product pitch. We don’t intend to sell anything, now or later.

This show is not sponsored by any technology vendor and we are trying to be as unbiased as possible. We talk like no one is listening! For good or bad 😉.

What is DevSecOps

As DevOps improved the collaboration between developers (dev) and operations (ops), DevSecOps includes security aspects into the development and operation of applications. It adds the dimension of security to a DevOps culture.

Enjoy the talks and feel free to participate.

Can AI really help us build more secure software? What’s working in practice right now, and where do the tools still fall short? Mattias and Paulina share their views. We are always happy to answer any questions, hear suggestions for new episodes, or hear from you, our listeners.DevSecOps Talks podcast LinkedIn pageDevSecOps Talks podcast websiteDevSecOps Talks podcast YouTube channel

It’s been a while since OpenTofu was released to the public, so we wanted to check in on where it stands today. How is the community adopting it? What’s the public sentiment? And how does it differ from Terraform in terms of features?

This time we’re joined by Cole Bittel, an experienced SRE, platform engineer, and contributor to OpenTofu. He shares his hands-on experience migrating to OpenTofu, and we look into the problems teams face with infrastructure as code and how both Terraform and OpenTofu approach solving them.

This time we talk about how LLMs use tools and what the Model Context Protocol (MCP) brings to the table. What are the risks? How can an attacker exploit MCPs? And why are LLMs a bit like grandpas — helpful but forgetful? We are always happy to answer any questions, hear suggestions for new episodes, or hear from you, our listeners.DevSecOps Talks podcast LinkedIn pageDevSecOps Talks podcast websiteDevSecOps Talks podcast YouTube channel
