Accelerating DevSecOps Journey with Gitlab’s AI-Powered Automation
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, organizations are under increasing pressure to deliver software faster, more efficiently, and with stronger security measures. At the CI/CD in Action session, Ron Teo, GitLab’s Senior Solution Architect, took center stage to showcase how businesses can achieve these objectives seamlessly with GitLab’s AI-powered DevSecOps Platform.
Ron emphasized that improving DevSecOps maturity is key to accelerating business value. However, enterprises face significant challenges in this journey, including:
- Siloed Development and Security Processes slowing down software delivery and increasing risks.
- Inconsistent AI Implementations across fragmented toolchains, leading to security and compliance gaps.
- Developer Productivity Bottlenecks, where only 25% of developers’ time is spent coding, while 75% is consumed by testing, securing, and analyzing software.
To address these challenges, GitLab’s AI-powered DevSecOps platform delivers a unified, automated, and security-first approach to modern software development. Organizations no longer have to choose between speed, efficiency, and security—they can achieve all three simultaneously.
