Abstract
DevSecOps encompasses all the best software engineering principles known today with an emphasis on faster delivery through increased collaboration of all stakeholders resulting in more secure, useable, and higher-quality software systems. In this SEI podcast, Tim Chick and Joe Yankel present a DevSecOps Platform-Independent Model that uses model-based systems engineering (MBSE) to formalize the practices of DevSecOps pipelines and organize relevant guidance. This first-of-its-kind model gives software development enterprises the structure and articulation needed for creating, maintaining, securing, and improving DevSecOps pipelines.
