Starting March 2021 the Red Hat Security Ecosystem team is happy to announce our monthly OpenShift series, “DevSecOps is the Way” In this series you will learn how Red Hat weaves together DevOps and Security to master the force called DevSecOps. We explain how to assemble Red Hat products and our security ecosystem partners to aid in your journey to master deploying a comprehensive DevSecOps solution.

Every month we present a different security topic and use cases. Topics are aligned with products and technologies from Red Hat and our software partners (ISVs). Our series brings in industry experts to discuss how to weave together culture, process, and technology. 

Every month you can look forward to:

  • Two (2) different OpenShift TV Shows : Wed, 1pm Eastern and Thursday, 2pm Eastern
  • Three (3) different podcasts featuring ecosystem partners and industry experts. Have a listen to our first podcast introducing this series; with Aaron Levey and Dave Meurer
  • OpenShift Commons Briefing hours featuring a Red Hat Security Partner (3rd Wednesday of each month)
  • Various content, like blogs and whitepapers to support each month’s topic.
