Where Security Fits into DevOps w/ Andrés Mayhew, Sr. Manager SRE at Apixio

In Episode 1 of Champions of Security, Jacob Garrison interviews Andrés Mayhew, Sr. Manager SRE at Apixio.

Andrés brings over 25 years of experience with large scale Internet operations. He has worked in the trenches of Netscape, Napster, VeriSign, Rivian, and nearly a dozen start-ups. The teams he’s led have enabled developers to own their applications end-to-end through the entire software lifecycle. With an underlying mantra that “execution is a feature,” he has pushed development teams to consider a production-first mentality. This means considering the fault-tolerance, scaling, security, and costs requirements on equal terms as features and functionality. His work includes deploying, maintaining, and updating high traffic web properties while running with five 9's of availability. At VeriSign he was responsible for full-cycle development and implementation for core PKI infrastructure services which supported billions of daily transactions.

Andrés and Jacob talk about:

↳ Security and Operations teams needing to focus on their production environments continuously.

↳ Demonstrating how security is a value add rather than a cost center.

↳ Deployments continuing to change - stay tuned for the future of microservices.

And so much more.
