DevSecOps and Security Chaos Engineering

Aaron Rinehart at All The Talks 2020 - DevOps

In this session Aaron will uncover the importance of using Chaos Engineering in developing a learning culture in a DevSecOps world. Aaron will walk us through how to get started with Chaos Engineering for security and how it can be practically applied to enhance system performance, resilience and security.

Security focused Chaos Engineering allows engineering teams to derive new information about the state of security within their distributed systems that was previously unknown. This new technique of instrumentation attempts to proactively inject security turbulent conditions or faults into our systems to determine the conditions by which our security will fail so that we can fix it before it causes customer pain.

During this session we will cover some key concepts in Safety & Resilience Engineering and how new techniques such as Chaos Engineering are making a difference in improving our ability to learn from incidents proactively before they become destructive.

CTO, Founder at Verica

Aaron Rinehart has been expanding the possibilities of chaos engineering in its application to other safety-critical portions of the IT domain notably cybersecurity. He began pioneering the application of security in chaos engineering during his tenure as the Chief Security Architect at the largest private healthcare company in the world, UnitedHealth Group (UHG). While at UHG Rinehart released ChaoSlingr, one of the first open source software releases focused on using chaos engineering in cybersecurity to build more resilient systems. Rinehart recently founded a chaos engineering startup called Verica with Casey Rosenthal from Netflix and is a frequent author, consultant and speaker in the space.
