About this Episode
In this episode, Jeffrey is discussing security in DevOps with his guest, Henry Been. Henry is an independent DevOps and Azure architect from the Netherlands. He enjoys working with development teams to create and deliver great software — and for him, this includes the full DevOps cycle; starting with discovering and planning new features and ending only when end users are satisfied. Henry's interests include the Azure cloud, Agile, DevOps, software architecture and the design and implementation of testable and maintainable software. Next to his work, Henry is one of the Microsoft ALM DevOps Rangers — which is a group of 130 engineers worldwide who share professional guidance and create gap-filling solutions surrounding Azure.
Henry and Jeffrey discuss, in-depth, everything you want to know when it comes to security with DevOps. Henry offers advice on how to implement security into your DevOps practice, makes recommendations on how to be more secure at each stage of the software development application lifecycle, highlights possible vulnerabilities that you might want to watch out for, and offers tools you can utilize to combat this and up your security in your DevOps environment.
