The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is a federal agency founded in 1978, responsible for managing the U.S. civil service. Based in Washington, D.C., OPM oversees recruitment, training, and benefits for federal employees, playing a key role in ensuring an effective and diverse workforce for the government.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) plays a critical role in managing the federal government's civilian workforce. The U.S. government faces constant cyber threats and increasing demands for efficient and secure software delivery. Traditional software development methodologies often struggle to keep pace with the evolving threats. To address these challenges, OPM invested in Sprintzeal's DevSecOps Foundation training program.
OPM's traditional software development and deployment processes were slow and prone to security vulnerabilities. The traditional approach resulted in inconsistent security practices between development, operations, and security teams. Manual testing and deployment processes further exacerbated these challenges, leading to delays and increased risk of errors.
To address these challenges, OPM implemented a comprehensive DevSecOps Foundation Training program tailored to meet its specific operational needs. Sprintzeal's DevSecOps training program equipped OPM's IT teams with the knowledge and skills to collaborate and create a security-focused approach to software development and deployment.
By leveraging the DevSecOps training with Sprintzeal, the U.S. OPM's operations
was seen to have made significant improvements in security.
Integrating security throughout the development process led to a decreased vulnerabilities. This proactive approach enhanced OPM’s defenses and also instilled greater confidence in the safety of government services.
The upskilling initiative helped boost employee morals and job satisfaction, with a massive boost fostering a culture of enthusiasm and commitment that is essential for the long-term success of both the entity and the employee.
With the adoption of Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) practices, OPM reduced software delivery times by an impressive rate. This acceleration means quicker updates and improvements to public services.
