Building DevSecOps programs can be boosted and matured through using Chaos Engineering practices, but within a security context. This talk will introduce the concept of Chaos Security Engineering, why it will be useful in maturing DevSecOps program, and helpful resources and tools for starting your own program. This talk will also highlight the importance of the hypothesis mode of testing, which can also be seen in ethical hacking practices. The idea is to combine two separate ideas which have similar methodologies, to help integrate ongoing security testing throughout development cycles.
