The Missing AI Unlock - How Intelligent DevSecOps will usher in the next wave of AI-assisted development

Abstract

The age of AI is upon us and nowhere is this more evident than in the business process of planning, building, testing, securing, releasing and monitoring software. Over the past 9 months copilots have emerged with the promise of superhuman strength for developers, test professionals, release engineers, SREs and more. The opportunity is clear, but the risks and unknowns, especially in the enterprise, are also very real. In this talk we will explore the critical role Intelligent DevSecOps will play in this new world. By leveraging existing DevOps & security best practices, using machine learning concepts to gain a deeper understanding of software delivery information, and enhancing DevSecOps workflows with AI, Intelligent DevSecOps is poised to be the catalyst that delivers on the productivity promise of AI-assisted development, and ensure outcomes like high quality, security, governance and compliance are achieved.
