Abstract: 

Doing security in an SRE context with a particular focus on the software delivery pipeline can be a bit disjointed. This talk takes a pragmatic approach to each phase of the software delivery pipeline, and you will be armed with philosophy, questions, and tooling that will get security moving at the speed of your SRE organization.
