Getting Developers into F1 Driver Seats with Security?

At Virgin Media O2, we are in a race of digital transformation which requires many different types of skillsets and people. This resulted in waves of hiring new blood, contractors and skilling up existing engineers/developers.

Soon we realised, the numbers of unicorns are very rare. People are usually very productive on just a few things. For example, developers are very good at crafting and solving complex problems with codes but might not be experts in DevOps, resilience or security.

Any minutes spent on onboarding or not producing outcomes are very expensive.

Highlights of this talk:

  • A solid platform to develop on
  • Power at your fingertips
  • Peace of mind automation
  • Perimeter to safeguard our crown jewels
  • User-centric container foundation

Panel: Building Security in Earlier

Monday Mar 27 / 04:10PM BST

Software security is an essential aspect of any digital product, yet it is often neglected until the late stages of the development lifecycle. This approach leaves organizations vulnerable to cyberattacks, which can result in costly data breaches, reputational damage, and legal liabilities.
