Government is rethinking how it approaches software development and use of tooling in its technology programs by using more flexible methods to streamline the process and to improve cybersecurity from the start. Double clicking on a previous DevSecOps meetup, this month’s Azure Government DC Meetup takes us deeper into advances in tooling, thinking around software factories and DevSecOps frameworks, and current DevSecOps implementations.

Please RSVP and join us for our virtual Microsoft Azure Government DC meetup, The rise of DevSecOps in gov software initiatives, Wednesday, May 27 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. ET by joining: aka.ms/AzureGovMeetupLive
