Happy Halloween,
By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes ~William Shakespeare
Maybe not wicked in the literal sense but more like wicked as in “havin’ a time!”. This months HASK meeting is Wednesday October 25th and is sponsored by our good friends at CA Technologies. This is their first time sponsoring a HASK so lets give them a warm welcome.

Enabling Digital Trust and Controlling Risk in a Zero Trust Online World
Here at CA, when we combine our IAM solutions with our API Gateways, we give customers the ability to integrate security into the development of their Web and Mobile applications. Discussions about security are now LOB focused and tied to larger initiatives that focus on millions of consumer users. Somehow, the Security team often get left out of this discussion. We have proven this approach with many clients here in Canada.

Introducing DevOps at the Province of Nova Scotia
To improve productivity, security and client engagement, the Unix operations team at the Province of Nova Scotia has implemented DevOps practices and tooling. Learn about the tools, processes and benefits the team has realized by implementing DevOps. Steve and Paul will also demo an automated deployment pipeline with integrated security checks.
Steve Zinck – has spent most of his career working in the Public Service as a Unix and Infrastructure administrator. Over the past few years, he’s started to transition away from traditional systems administration and begun to focus on software delivery and automation. As part of that transition, his team has implemented GitLab at the core of our automation and software delivery stack. His current focus is working with software and application teams to assist in streamlining their deployment and delivery process.
Paul Badcock – started working in the IT sector in 1998 with positions in small startups, large companies, to currently on a public-sector team. His career was focused as a traditional IT Linux administrator until in the mid-2000s he started focusing on adopting development tooling, practices and methodologies for operational teams. This work culminated in implementing an early 2010s DevOps workplace framework and subsequently working with like-minded teams since.
