DevSecOps “Friends”, Webinar Series: The One with Platform Engineering (and the Happy Developers)

About

Join us for a DevSecOps “Friends” webinar series where we explore the ins and outs of DevSecOps. We'll dive deep into key topics, from platform engineering to the role of AI, all while navigating the intricacies of modern software development (and maybe sharing a coffee or two at the digital “central perk” along the way). No matter your DevSecOps experience level, you'll find valuable insights and leave each session feeling like you've just hung out with your favorite friends...who also happen to share your passion for application security.
