DevOps by the Data (Guests: Nicole Forsgren & Jez Humble) Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

This episode we talk with two of the co-founders of DevOps Research and Assessment, LLC (DORA) - Nicole Forsgren, CEO and Chief Scientist, and Jez Humble, CTO. Nicole and Jez are two of the key thought leaders in the DevOps movement and have done more than most to evangelize and legitimize DevOps best practices. Through their extensive research, surveys, and in-depth analysis at DORA they, along with their co-founder Gene Kim, have built a strong, data-backed foundation for DevOps. We will discuss their new book, Accelerate, where they brought this research together and present some fascinating conclusions about what DevOps, when implemented well, can do for an organization.

Deep Dive - Security & DevOps (Guest: David Hafley) Jun 04, 2018

Show notes

In this Deep Dive edition, we go under the hood on a topic to get a practitioner point-of-view on Security and DevOps. In the last five years, the DevOps philosophy and culture has risen to transform the way software is developed and maintained, with its emphasis on faster deployment cycles and cross-functional collaboration. How does it work? How is it incorporated in a DevOps process? What does it mean to do DevSecOps? Contrast Security is trying to answer that question for their customers. Their model of self-protecting software has the potential to change how companies think about security, and David Hafley was the right guy to talk to about it.

The New Age of Data Privacy (Guest: George Gerchow) May 21, 2018

Show notes

Data Privacy has gone from the sidelines to the front page - the revelations of Russion hackers influencing the US election, Facebook data being used to manipulate our voting patterns, and an endless parade of stories about yet another company being hacked. It is in that context that we talked to George Gerchow - the Chief Security Officer at Sumo Logic, about security and data privacy - in particular, about the new privacy regulations coming out of the European Union - the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

A Journey through Time and Security (Guest: Bill Burns) May 14, 2018

Show notes

Our guest this episode has had a front-row seat at some of the most game-changing innovators in the Internet Era - Netscape, Netflix, and now Informatica. He has seen the Information Security industry change dramatically since he first cut his proverbial teeth on it in the nineties. Our discussion touched across 20+ years of dramatic changes in the way business is done on the internet and how we as a society think about information security - all the way from security in a college computer lab, to security at Netflix, to his plans at Informatica, and to the new privacy regulations coming out of the European Union - the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
