Meet Us in the Container: A Government-Industry Dialogue on Accelerating Secure Software Delivery (Room Estes B)

To solve the government's hardest problems at the speed of relevance, public and private sectors must find a common operating ground. As government agencies increasingly leverage their own extensible orchestration platforms, the path to rapid deployment relies on industry delivering targeted, containerized solutions rather than complex external environments. This panel brings together government and industry experts to discuss how both sides can "meet us in the container" to streamline integration and accelerate delivery. We will explore real-world strategies for leveraging automated DevSecOps, embedding security during development to drastically reduce post-deployment hurdles and rapidly field secure, mission-critical capabilities.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:

  • Describe the necessity for public and private sectors to establish a common operating ground to solve complex government challenges at the speed of relevance.
  • Explain how government-owned extensible orchestration platforms necessitate the delivery of targeted, containerized solutions from industry partners.
  • Outline real-world strategies for implementing automated DevSecOps to streamline system integration and accelerate software delivery timelines.
  • Assess the operational benefits of embedding security practices during early development phases to drastically reduce post-deployment hurdles.
  • Apply collaborative government-industry approaches to rapidly and securely field mission-critical software capabilities.
