Greetings & Banter
Ranted a little bit at Cylance ripping off our podcast name “Shame! Shame!” and also referenced the amazing risky.biz podcast

Topic for this week: Agile development and DevOps
I subjected Matt to the Packt DevOps Fundamentals video so that he could lead the episode, but it turns out he didn’t like it and got bitter instead.

What I should have done is fed him some good websites like I’m going to give to you, noble reader. Atlassian has a pretty good overview of what DevOps is here.

There’s a really good book that describes agile development and DevOps called The Phoenix Project. We also talked about it, and some of Agile development, back in episode 23 – Enterprise Scale Development.

Most of the things we talk about are pretty straight forward, but kanban boards are a bit obscure if you haven’t already seen them. Again, Atlassian seems to have the best article on this and show you examples of how to DIY a physical kanban board.

Oh, I also mentioned a terrific productivity book called Getting Things Done.

Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) got touched on from some tooling perspective, but you can find out more here.

Threat Modelling is something that has a bunch of different ways to be done, and most of them are hard to wrap your mind around. My suggestion is to follow the Microsoft Secure Development Lifecycle version at
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/securityengineering/sdl/threatmodeling using the STRIDE model.

Also the EoP Threat Modelling card game can be downloaded from Microsoft here.
