WEBINAR: Modernizing Control Software - SDLC to DevSecOps for A&D

Available On-demand!

Move your control and automation software development from disconnected individual efforts on isolated laptops to agile team workflows in cyber-secure, cloud-based pipeline environments. 

Aviation, space and defense programs as well as industrial sectors depend on mechanical and electrical control systems to maintain operational availability and deliver rapidly validated software updates to sustain mission-critical assets. However, the software development pipelines that support these PLCs and other OT control systems often remain isolated on individual laptops and on-prem servers, creating a bottleneck that slows total development cycles.  

As organizations modernize and aim for faster software updates to meet mission and operational demands, many are considering a move to secure, cloud-based development environments. The need for agile Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD), shorter development cycles, better pipeline management, rapid response to zero-day cyber vulnerabilities, and adaptive automation is now critical. The challenge lies in ensuring cybersecurity is not compromised during this transition.

In this Aviation Week webinar, Rockwell Automation and Kalypso will share how we help clients evolve from ad-hoc Software Development Cycles (SDLC) into disciplined DevOps practice that can then mature into full DevSecOps capabilities. We will walk through how we decompose existing systems and applications, evaluate current software development toolchains and pipeline processes, and define a tailored roadmap for clients to transition to an agile, cyber-secure, cloud-based software development model. We will also explore how AI tools are being applied today to enhance testing, deployment, configuration management, and security monitoring for control system software. 

Key takeaways:

• How to assess and decompose existing PLC and control system software environments in mission critical aerospace, defense and federal settings.
• A clear roadmap for evolving from DevOps to DevSecOps in the cloud while protecting critical programs.
• Practical ways to cut development time and gain efficiency across CI/CD, testing, deployment and automation.
• Approaches to address cybersecurity concerns that cause organizations to hesitate moving in this direction.
• Where AI tools are being applied today to accelerate validation, configuration control and secure operations.
