Podcast about DevSecOps

Straight-up tech talk by practitioners, for practitioners

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.

#46 - Software supply chain attacks - ep.#46

We are happy to welcome back Jacob Lärfors, CEO and Senior Consultant from Verifa, to talk about software supply chain attacks. It feels important to raise this topic since those attacks start to be utilized more often by sophisticated adversaries. At the same time, software supply chain security is something that companies often overlook. We as practitioners have so many things to consider and do that, in most cases, we do not have enough cognitive capacity left when looking into our library sources. What are the things we need to be aware of, and what are the low-hanging fruits we could utilize to help developers do their job securely?

#44 - Kosli with Mike Long. From compliance to answering questions about the production environment - ep.#44

We are excited about the new breed of tools coming to the market. We often had to put together tools to find out what was in production and what broke it. Your monitoring tools go as far as only telling you that something isn’t working as expected but not why it is so, and then you have to scramble to figure out what versions of services are in production, were there any recent deploys, etc. So you can understand what has changed to narrow down possible causes. Our good friend Mike and his team are building the tool to answer exactly such questions, so we thought you might be interested in hearing him out.

#42 - Prometheus - a practitioner take - ep.#42

If you follow CloudNative hype wave, you might feel that Prometheus is the must-use monitoring tool for everything CloudNative. Plus, almost everything nowadays has a Prometheus exporter. Just get that helm chart installed, and here you go - metrics question sorted out. Want to monitor endpoints - here is BlackBox exporter for you. Want to get notifications - AlertManager got you covered. And so on and so on. But is it all rainbows and unicorns? You probably guessed that it depends. This time, Semyon is joining us to air his grievances with Prometheus and share insights on how to cook it if you decide to go down this route.

#41 - Great communication FTW - ep.#41

Communication in co-located teams is quite often complicated. It is even more complex and, at the same time, important in distributed teams. Have you ever got an issue report that says this thing is failing? No logs, no explanation of context, no nothing. Pretty sure we’ve all been in such situations. How do you step up your communication game? This episode of DevSecOps Talks is about great communication tips for DevSecOps practitioners in distributed (and not only) teams.
