Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, announced it will host a research webinar titled “DevSecOps: Why Automation and Security are Critical to Successful Cross-Functional Teams,” based on the research report written by Will Schoeppner, research director covering application performance management and business intelligence at EMA.
Today’s business relies on faster, more reliable delivery from internal technical teams. This has led to an increase in collaboration between information technology teams over the past few years with DevOps teams, then with the addition of security teams to create a DevSecOps practice. This coordination focused on eliminating silos that are known to plague technical teams for years. However, for companies to realize the successes of these cross-functional teams, there must be a focus on three key pillars.

EMA research focused on where organizations can build on the successes of cross-functional teams by incorporating key functions and understanding how organizations can benefit from “shifting left” of critical operations in the development lifecycle, including security and automation.
During this webinar, Schoeppner will discuss key findings from this new research focused on the relationship between business outcomes that are dependent on rapid application development and secure data management. Topics to be discussed include:
Trends in cross-functional team collaboration
Business outcomes from cross-functional teams
Successes and challenges of implementing cross-functional teams
The importance in integrating security at all stages of the application development lifecycle
How a security-focused strategy can drive software development velocity
