Conversely, security teams may view the rise of DevOps as chaotic and potentially disastrous for security protocols. - **Importance of Cooperation**: The core message centers around the idea that both DevOps and security can coexist and even thrive together if they understand and appreciate each other's contributions. - **What DevOps Means for Security**: Turnbull explains how the practices and principles of DevOps can enhance security measures, ultimately leading to better protection and risk management. - **Selling DevOps to Security**: He shares strategies for advocating DevOps practices to security teams, emphasizing the shared goal of improving the organization’s security posture while maintaining agility. - **Changing the Risk Landscape**: DevOps can help shift risk perceptions in organizations, allowing for more proactive approaches to security issues, rather than solely focusing on reactive measures. - **Mutual Benefits**: Turnbull stresses that security professionals have valuable insights that could significantly benefit the DevOps process, creating an environment of mutual respect and shared goals. ### Conclusion: The talk concludes with a positive outlook on the relationship between DevOps and security, indicating that with open communication and cooperation, they can form a "long and prosperous friendship". This collaboration can lead to innovation and improved outcomes for both development processes and security practices in organizations, suggesting that despite past grievances, a united approach can make both teams more effective.
