Abstract

The capacity for software engineers to build secure software has been revolutionized by modern software engineering techniques. Software engineering teams use myriad techniques, including Agile, DevOps, Kanban, Scrum, CI/CD, IaC, and GitOps to name just a few. But to be leveraged effectively by the development teams, each new technique requires a set of new capabilities. The deployment and maintenance of new capabilities are not trivial tasks. Layer on the requirement for operating the capabilities securely, and we’ve opened a whole new can of worms.
