Reviews

Finally we have a book that can be leveraged by everyone in your organization involved in meeting security, audit, and compliance requirements. You'll be able to apply this practical guidance immediately, and I really appreciate the inclusion of all of the functions and roles required to be successful. It's a great reminder that we are all in this together! --Courtney Kissler, CTO, Zulily Investments Unlimited builds upon years of DevSecOps literature while firmly anchoring the principles into regulated entities like financial services. The technology fable will keep you engaged with relatable stories and conversations, and practical knowledge for you to implement at your own firm and inside your team. --Dr. Brandon R. Williams, VP IAM Strategy, Ping Identity There are countless books documenting the techniques and tooling of DevOps. But rather than a technical how-to, Investments Unlimited abstracts much of the nitty-gritty to tell the story of what a DevSecOps transformation might look like for the people and teams of an enterprise organization. --Maya Senen, Sr. SRE This book does an amazing job of explaining how good DevOps practices can help ensure that your software if safe, secure, and auditable. I learned a lot from it, which I can't say often after reading DevOps books over the last ten years. This is a must-read for any CISO or executive looking to improve the security and compliance practices in their organization. --Ross Clanton, Chief Architect and Managing Director, American Airlines This book helps overcome the fear and frustration many technology organizations have with audit and compliance. The story of Investments Unlimited builds shared understanding across functions and roles in an engaging way and shows us the practical steps to make more speed, stability, and compliance a reality in our own organizations. --Jeff Gallimore, CTIO, Excella This book should be required reading for every software product manager and engineer. Learn how to apply security, compliance, audit, and automated testing capabilities in your organization by reading a fictional story that does a great job relating the challenges faced daily. --Thomas Underhill, JD, Director of Trust Engineering Programs, VMware Today, software developers are just as much security engineers, whether they know it or not. In a unique and compelling way, Investments Unlimited illustrates how to safely automate security testing, audit, and compliance to help organizations move faster, safer. It's a fast and fun story that sheds light on a much-needed subject: the importance of bringing security, audit, and compliance out of the shadows and into the everyday life of a developer. Security, audit, and compliance are everyone's job every day. Investments Unlimited joyfully brings to light that these essential functions are enabled by DevOps. --Jim Manico, Founder and Secure Coding Educator, Manicode Security
