Session
What if you could travel back in time to prevent a security breach before a single line of vulnerable code was written? While we don't have a physical time machine, the "Shift-Left" methodology offers the next best thing. This session reimagines the DevOps lifecycle as a "Time Machine," demonstrating how to proactively eliminate vulnerabilities at their genesis. We will journey through each stage, from Plan to Monitor, showcasing how integrating security capabilities like threat modeling, automated code analysis (SAST/SCA), and continuous testing can catch issues when they are exponentially cheaper and easier to fix. Join us to learn how to move beyond the reactive security nightmare, build a culture of prevention, and architect a more secure and resilient future for your applications
