Hi All
Late in 2021, I officially became the Australia & New Zealand Architecture Profession Leader for IBM, having been and carrying on in 2022 I am involved in a DevOps engagement using Open Source Software and using a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach using the Agile Methodology for a client.
1) My goal is to ensure that Security & Privacy by Design principles are firmly embedded during the engagement from end to end by actively communicating with the Developers, Architects, Project Manager and the client to ensure their objectives are met, but also doing so with some discipline to ensure good outcomes by using security principles as well as ensuring good solution design approach. The rationale behind this, is that there is a tendency to focus on the Hypothesis, and Outcomes and drop the failures quickly and move on, but letting documentation lapse along the way. This can only lead to disaster in the long run, unless security & privacy along with Architectural principles and good practices are enforced throughout the engagement.
Comment: Just because it uses Agile methodology, and DevOps approach, does not mean one is exempt from documentation throughout the process, the Architects involved and organisations reputation, along with integrity and trust is paramount. People have long memories.
2) Introducing and starting organisations journey's towards Zero Trust security, focusing on a business first approach rather than a bottom up approach which tends to gravitate towards technology firsts, rather than People, Processes and then Technology.
3) To keep on developing and learning by achieving certifications, and CPD's through self discipline i.e. set a goal of at 40-100 hours of self-development with distinctive goals.
