The presentation will provide a detailed understanding of the "shift left" approach: what is it; how it evolved; why is it needed; and how is it accomplished. Shifting left refers to the idea of addressing security concerns earlier in the software development lifecycle. It is a modern approach to shifting left that can have a significant impact on risk reduction for cloud- native development teams and help them to strike a healthy balance.
The presentation will reference key elements for a successful shift left strategy such as: -Secure coding training for developers -Security in design -Ongoing infrastructure baseline validation -Monitoring
It will explain SDLC and OWASP DevSecOps maturity model where security tasks need to be automated and integrated within the development and deployment pipeline.
Learning Objectives:
Define the meaning of a shift left approach and why is it needed.
List key elements for a successful shift left strategy and methods to accomplish.
Understand that by implementing shift left and adopting a DevSecOps mindset, organisations can foster collaboration and knowledge sharing between developers, operations teams and security experts.
