Moving Fast and Securing Things

This post details the creation and open-sourcing of 'goSDL', a tool designed to implement Slack's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL). It describes the initial risk assessment process, component surveys with a plugin-based architecture, and the generation of checklists integrated with Jira for task tracking. The tool uses slash commands in Slack to initiate the SDL process and aims to provide coverage without blocking development, emphasizing developer trust and self-sufficiency.
