Deming, the patron saint of DevOps once advised, "It is not necessary to change.  Survival is not mandatory." To survive, application development teams are constantly pressured to deliver software even faster. But fast is not enough. The best organizations realize that security, quality and integrity at velocity are mandatory for survival. Hence, DevOpsSec. My aim here is to leave you uncomfortably amazed.  While the pace of development has changed significantly, our processes to secure our applications has not changed enough.  It is as if a wildfire has raged uncontained for years now but we have failed to take notice. Maybe that sounds a bit crazy, but once I share a little background on what is happening, you'll understand why innovation in this arena is critical for survival (when it comes to your applications).  If you are aiming to ramp up your own Rugged Dev...

IoT ID Management and WebRTC | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #RTC #WebRTC

Download Slide Deck: ▸ Here We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management.
