Show Notes

In this engaging episode of The Secure Developer, host Simon Maple chats with John Delmare, Managing Director of Accenture and Global Application and Cloud Security Lead, about the movement towards platform consolidation in the field of DevSecOps.

They dive into an in-depth exploration of the potential advantages and barriers that emerge from the reduction of tool sprawl. Using his extensive experience and insights, Delmare sheds light on how this development can enhance efficiency for developers and, at the same time, benefit companies by making processes more streamlined, cost-efficient, and effective.

Not losing sight of the role of best-of-breed tools, the conversation takes a turn into how such tools fare in the current scenario, whether they still hold relevance, or if the consolidation trend is set to overshadow them. More intriguingly, Delmare and Maple delve into the potential implications of emerging technologies like General Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) on the strategies for security tooling.

Platform consolidation comes into play here by offering shared data views and aligning the teams towards unified goals, making the perfect case for seamless DevSecOps practices.
