Session: Integrating AI into DevSecOps for Enhanced Security and Efficiency
As organizations continue to adopt complex, cloud-native environments, they face growing challenges in maintaining security while meeting the demands of modern, fast-paced development cycles. Traditional DevSecOps practices, while essential, often struggle to keep up with these demands. This session will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) can be seamlessly integrated into DevSecOps pipelines to overcome these challenges, enhancing both security and operational efficiency.
In this session, I will share real-world insights into how AI-driven tools and practices have transformed DevSecOps workflows in large-scale organizations. By automating key security tasks like vulnerability detection, threat analysis, and continuous monitoring, AI empowers development teams to detect and address security risks earlier in the development lifecycle—ensuring compliance, reducing human error, and improving overall efficiency.
Bio
With over 25 years of experience in technology and software engineering, I currently serve as the Executive Director of Platform Engineering at Quest Diagnostics. My expertise spans cloud enablement, DevSecOps, Site Reliability Engineering (SRE), and Software Testing AI integration.
I have led large scale digital transformations, successfully integrating AI into software testing automation and improving DevSecOps efficiency across multi-cloud environments. By building the SRE function from the ground up and implementing automation and observability practices, I have enhanced system reliability and uptime, reduced operational overhead, and improved incident response. Through my leadership, my team has significantly enhanced its security posture, improved operational efficiency, and accelerated digital innovation.
I’m passionate about leveraging AI and automation to drive secure, scalable solutions with built-in quality, and I’m excited to share my insights with the WomenTech community to help others integrate these practices for enhanced security, efficiency, and system resilience.
