Predictions 2018: How DevOps, AI Will Impact Security

Amit Ashbel, Director of Product Marketing and Cyber Security Evangelist, Checkmarx:  Here’s what’s next for DevOps.  “DevOps is still maturing, and while many organizations are shifting to DevOps, many are still in the process and not there yet. That said, the DevOps movement will continue to grow and increase its scope to cover additional aspects of the product’s lifecycle. For us specifically, the introduction of security into DevOps is most interesting. The challenge continues to revolve around fast processes and short cycles of security tests with very clear and accurate findings led by remediation that has to be handed in a silver spoon to the developers. While many in the security industry are trying to make DevOps adopt security, I believe that the security vendors should work harder on adapting security practices to DevOps environments which is exactly what Checkmarx have been doing for many years now.”
