DevSecOps Days Washington, D.C. 2026 will elevate how you integrate security into your Development, Security, and Operations (DevSecOps) practices and transform your DevSecOps journey. Learn from fellow practitioner successes, discover ideas on integrating security into your teams, and leave with insights on automating security within the entire developer and production pipeline.

MBSE in Practice 2026 will provide a platform to bridge the gap between Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) theory and its real-world practice. Explore solutions for addressing the organizational challenges of MBSE adoption, improving traditional System Engineering and Enterprise Architecture design quality, leveraging MBSE for DoD Acquisition and T&E, and applying MBSE for cybersecurity, system analysis, and assurance.

Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has been at the forefront of secure software development promoting a “shift left” approach to save time and money by addressing, preventing, or eliminating security weaknesses earlier in the software development cycle. Building on this approach, the 3rd annual Secure Software by Design event promotes security as an integral aspect of the entire software lifecycle by following deliberate, intentional engineering processes rather than by addressing security as one-off activities.

This event is intended to improve the state of this holistic secure development approach by bringing together thought leaders for presentations and discussions on all aspects of secure software systems development including application threat modeling, security requirements, secure software architectures, DevSecOps, secure development platforms & pipelines, software assurance, secure coding practices, software testing, and more.
