About DevSecOpsDay Italy
DevSecOpsDay Italy is an annual, in-person conference dedicated to embedding security practices within the DevOps workflow. Now in its fourth edition, the event brings together technical practitioners and IT leaders to explore how security can become an intrinsic part of software development rather than a final checkpoint before release. The conference is organized by GrUSP and takes place in Bologna on 14 October 2026.
The event addresses a fundamental challenge facing development teams: whether to treat security as an obstacle at the end of the pipeline or integrate it from the earliest stages of the software development lifecycle. DevSecOpsDay positions itself as a catalyst for this transformation, providing practical guidance on secure CI/CD pipelines, shift-left security approaches, policy-as-code implementation, software supply chain security, threat modeling, and incident response.
Conference Topics
The conference program is structured around seven main tracks:
- DevSecOps Culture and Awareness: Building organizational mindsets that treat security as a value-adding component.
- Software Supply Chain and Container Security: Managing risks in dependencies and containerized environments.
- Security Automation and Policy-as-Code: Codifying security policies for consistent enforcement across pipelines.
- Threat Detection and Observability: Monitoring and identifying security threats in production systems.
- Infrastructure and GitOps Security: Securing infrastructure-as-code and GitOps workflows.
- Resilience: Building systems that withstand and recover from security incidents.
Speakers
The fourth edition features speakers from across the Italian technology and cloud security sectors. Serena Sensini, Innovation and Emerging Technologies Leader at Dedalus, serves as Master of Ceremonies. Technical sessions are delivered by practitioners including Michele Buccarello (Head of DevOps at ReeVo), Matteo Bisi (Senior DevSecOps Engineer and Team Leader at ReeVo), Paolo Latella (Cloud Advisor at Recube), Marco Pernigo (DevOps at Zextras), Claudio Gaiani (Software Quality Assurance at Spindox), and Fabio Gos (Solutions Engineer at Sonar). Additional speakers include Matteo Baccan (Head of Development at Rivoluzione Digitale), Francesco Montelli, Paolo Carta, and Tommaso Liverani.
Who Should Attend
DevSecOpsDay Italy is designed for DevOps engineers, security specialists, team leads, heads of development, cloud advisors, and software engineers working in organizations that prioritize software development and IT infrastructure. The conference serves both technical practitioners seeking hands-on knowledge and senior leaders responsible for security strategy and team transformation.
