We’ve all had just about enough with shift left at this point - which basically means, let’s shift all of our problems onto someone else. If therapy and cognitive load are the outcomes we’re aiming for, then shift left is great.
Otherwise, shift left needs a rethink.
In this talk, I’ll go on a rant about why shift left needs to ship out, and will introduce shifting down (the new and better version of shift left).
We’ll talk about how we can empower our platforms (that everyone is already building anyway!) to make decisions developers shouldn’t have to be making.
By shifting the complexity to our intelligent platform with its nifty gadgets and gizmos - we can offload & automate all the things - such as security scanning policies (defined by security engineers!), generation of manifests, building and rebasing images (built by DevOps!), leverage policy languages and security prioritization frameworks like VEX to make our decisions and much more. So for those of us left standing after it’s all been shifted onto our plates, come learn how to get down with the shifting––into the platform.
