Epic Failures in DevSecOps

The Genesis of an Idea. That’s where the idea for this book came from. It started with a conversation with fellow speakers at RSA Conference where we were swapping war stories over a couple of beers. The conclusion of the evening of telling tales was the desire to find a way to get those stories out to the community. Not just stories, but failures as is part of the process of making the cultural and technological transformation that needs to happen in order to keep innovating. It is part of the journey to DevSecOps. The stories presented here aren’t a roadmap. What they do is acknowledge failure as a part of the knowledge base of the DevSecOps Community. The days of stand-alone security teams isolated from the real process of development are coming to an end.

Over 30,000 printed copies and over 200+ people in line at the author book signing at the RSA conference.
