Devops, bizops, flops and pops
|
Abstract
Even though concepts such as immutable servers, code pipelines, devops and even cloud have been around for a while, standards still are tied to older architectural elements such as firewalls, anti-virus, passwords and patching. This makes it difficult for GRC consultants and assessors to make clear decisions and provide guidance for organisations embracing new IT architecture. This talk will start off by defining what GRC actually is and how it is required in any organisation. It then will address the issues above and then offer some practical suggestions for dealing with them. The talk is aimed at anyone who is interested in GRC or is required to deal with risk and compliance.
