John Willis talks - DevSecOps Operationalization

In this presentation, John will discuss Dr. Deming’s work and give insight into how he would have viewed standard DevSecOps metrics.

In Deming’s New Economics, he said, “An operational definition is a procedure agreed upon for translation of a concept into a measurement of some kind.” I’ll explore what this means for DevSecOps cybersecurity in a modern context.
