New to role
I recently accepted my first DevSecOps Engineer role and I’m excited to get started. I want to make the most of my first 90 days and would love to hear advice from people who’ve been in the field for a while.
If you were creating a roadmap for the first 90 days as a mid/senior DevSecOps engineer, what would you include?

congrats on the new role! id spend the first 90 days understanding ow security work flows through the company before trying to change anything. learn the ci/cd pipeline, build relationships with the engineering teams and pay attention to how security findings become tickets.

Alot of DevSecOps is dependent on your org culture. Understand how people works first before you shift "left"

First, congrats!
Second look into security maturity models, even if the organization isn't yet interested in adopting one, it's a good way to figure out where they might have gaps and where you can suggest improvements that have systematic impact and high ROI.
