Summary

In 2018, several major corporations, including Facebook and Delta Airlines, experienced significant data breaches, highlighting the critical importance of security and data privacy for businesses and their customers. These breaches result in leaked private information and eroded trust, with the average cost of security breaches for U.S. organizations estimated at $3.5 million annually. To address these concerns, the DevOps Pulse Survey aims to explore trends, challenges, and solutions within DevOps and IT operations, with a particular focus on security, especially in light of the newly enforceable GDPR. The survey seeks to understand practices such as DevSecOps, the implementation of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems, incident resolution times, and the factors contributing to the security skills gap. Participation in the survey offers insights into community strategies for tackling security and compliance issues, with respondents entered into a raffle for a $300 Amazon gift card as a token of appreciation.
