The shift left movement is nothing new. DevSecOps have been conducting security tests earlier in the development process for years – but have headlines of successful attacks slowed down? The problem is this - the notion of shifting left is dependent on a standard linear development process. In reality, development is anything but linear. Effective DevSecOps requires testing in both staging and production environments, particularly with attackers increasingly targeting unknown, forgotten, and neglected assets. There are advantages and to implementing both a shift left and right approach. Testing in development is important, but isn't a silver bullet and it's also critical to test in production. Shifting everything left, and acting like that fixes everything, is a mistake.

Shift left has more than its fair share of admirers and advocates, as DevOps and DevSecOps initiatives aim to move responsibility for building and securing applications as early (or as far left) in the development life cycle as possible. But what about its more traditional (and much maligned) cousin, shift right? Shift right, or testing in production, was once taboo and is still discouraged by many. But testing in production is becoming a more common occurrence. The main goal of shift right testing is to spot and correct any issues that may not have been detected during the preceding development process. So, why does it have a bad reputation? Hosts Alan Shimel and Mitch Ashley are joined by Chris Riley (HubSpot), Nora Jones (Jeli) Paul Bruce (Tricentis) and Shamim Ahmed (Broadcom) as they debunk the myths of testing in production and discuss why it is important for your business. Join us to learn the truth about shift right testing best practices and trends for maintaining system integrity.
