RED HAT, DSO NATIONAL LABORATORIES COLLABORATE TO ADVANCE DEFENCE R&D EFFORTS

KUALA LUMPUR, June 15 (Bernama) -- Open source leader Red Hat Inc and DSO National Laboratories (DSO), Singapore’s national defence research and development (R&D) organisation, announced a collaboration to develop new DevSecOps capabilities.

According to Red Hat in a statement, the joint work between Red Hat and DSO shows the value of collaboration to facilitate knowledge exchange in Singapore’s defence R&D efforts.

DevSecOps, an information technology (IT) approach that combines development, operations and system security practices, encompasses culture, automation, and platform design, integrating security considerations as a shared responsibility throughout the entire IT lifecycle.

Red Hat aims to collaborate with and support DSO’s DevSecOps development through the adoption of a trusted hybrid cloud solution that improves integration and interoperability among systems.

“With the adoption of Red Hat open source technologies, DSO will have more agility to respond quickly and nimbly to new challenges through continuous innovation.

“We look forward to working with DSO on DevSecOps, automation and other initiatives that will help DSO advance Singapore’s defence resiliency,” said Red Hat APAC vice president, enterprise sales, Daniel Aw.

Meanwhile, DSO Chief Executive Officer, Cheong Chee Hoo said: “This collaboration will significantly advance our knowledge and capabilities in the latest DevSecOps practices as we deliver solutions from enterprise IT systems to mission-critical systems deployed in the field.”

Using Red Hat OpenShift, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform and Red Hat Device Edge (early access) in addition to Red Hat training services, organisations like DSO can tap enterprise open source software to enhance automation processes and bridge old and new IT systems to deliver timely, mission-critical applications and services.

DSO also aims to more quickly develop and deploy software to respond to evolving mission conditions in the field.
