Integrating Appsec Tools for DevOps Teams – Steve Wilson – ASW #186
DevOps teams have often been underserved by security tools. Modern appsec solutions need to fit within the existing workflows related to how software is built and deployed. But just dropping a tool into that pipeline isn't sufficient -- there are apps that haven't migrated to modern build processes or framework and many cloud-native apps demand different approaches to deployment. We'll cover the different approaches to adapting security tools to the needs of the developers.
