The Biggest DevSecOps Hits From swampUP 2021

In the wake of recent events like the SolarWinds hack and the White House executive order on cybersecurity, DevSecOps and security are top-of-mind for most DevOps and security professionals. 

How to efficiently adapt or adopt a sound DevSecOps has become a priority, especially with the U.S. government’s impending mandate requiring software applications to be vetted, and to create a trusted Software Bill Of Materials (SBOM) for each one. 

At the recently concluded swampUP 2021 virtual conference, JFrog hosted speakers and experts from all across the DevOps community, with particular attention paid to security and DevSecOps.

We don’t want you to miss out on the great security content presented at swampUP, so we gathered together the highlights from the best DevSecOps sessions at this year’s event.
