Securing the journey to continuous delivery

Adam Moss, Head of Engineering Strategy, Technical Leadership, DevOps, and SRE at the UK Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), shared insights on transitioning from a waterfall model to Agile, emphasizing the integration of security into the organization's infrastructure and culture during his presentation at GitLab Commit in London. With 84,000 employees and systems managing 55 million lines of code, the DWP undertook a significant shift by insourcing services previously outsourced for 30 years, aiming for continuous delivery, improved user experience, and cost reduction. This transformation necessitated a cultural shift towards taking full responsibility, including implementing a multi-layered security approach and embracing an iterative mindset for development. The organization focused on leveraging tools like GitLab for continuous vulnerability monitoring and maintaining transparency, emphasizing the importance of automation and identifying key operational challenges for successful transition. Adam highlighted the need for evolving security measures and organizational strategies to stay ahead, encouraging the anticipation of external threats and the continuous adaptation of the organization's roadmap.
