Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Scott W. Houghton. I consult for Fortune 500 companies and government agencies on Cloud, DevSecOps, & AI architecture strategies. I’m also launching a startup called Nebus AI & Robotics, developing our flagship product, The Olympus Framework. Olympus Cloud.

IT leadership in 2025 means:.✅ Cloud-first, AI-powered infrastructure.✅ Security embedded from the start (Zero Trust, DevSecOps).✅ A culture of automation, GitOps, and platform engineering. But….⚠️ Many orgs still struggle with silos, legacy thinking & ‘old IT’.

📖 Breaking it all down in my series: 🔗 . What do you think is the biggest IT leadership challenge in 2025? #ITLeadership #Cloud #DevSecOps.

🚀 DevSecOps, SRE & Platform Engineering – Are we just renaming old ideas?. 🔹 DevOps ➡️ Platform Engineering.🔹 SecOps ➡️ DevSecOps.🔹 IT Ops ➡️ SRE. 📖 Series here: 🔗

Do these shifts actually bring new value, or are they just marketing? Let’s discuss. #DevSecOps #SRE #PlatformEngineering”.

The days of ‘trust but verify’ are over. Security today is:. Never Trust, Always Verify (Zero Trust).AI-powered threat detection & response.Proactive security culture (CyberSec + InfoSec + DevSecOps). In Part 5, I explore how enterprises can stay ahead: 🔗

🚀 CyberSec vs. InfoSec – What’s the difference?. 🔹 CyberSec = Digital protection (networks, cloud, endpoints).🔹 InfoSec = Protecting ALL data (risk, compliance, governance).

In Part 5 of my series, I break down:.➡️ Why modern security must be multi-layered.➡️ How Zero Trust, AI, and automation fit into today’s CyberSec strategy.➡️ What DevSecOps & SRE teams need to do for 2025 security readiness. 📖 Read it here: 🔗

What’s your biggest CyberSec or InfoSec challenge right now? #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #DevSecOps.

#PlatformEngineering + #DevSecOps = A Secure, Scalable #Cloud Strategy. ➡️ Platform Engineering: Provides reusable infra & tools.➡️ DevSecOps: Ensures security from the start.➡️ SRE: Keeps everything running reliably. Breaking it all down in Part 4 → 🔗

How is your team structuring Platform Engineering vs. DevSecOps? #Cloud #SRE #DevOps.

Platform Engineering – More than just DevOps v2?. ✅ DevOps = Culture & CI/CD.✅ DevSecOps = Security-first Dev.✅ SRE = Reliability & Observability.✅ Platform Eng = Scalable, Reusable Internal Platforms. 📖 New article: 🔗.#DevOps #SRE #CloudNative.

Does your org have a dedicated Platform Engineering team? Let’s talk!.

🔐 SRE & DevSecOps – Two sides of the same coin?. ✅ SRE: Focus on reliability, observability, automation.✅ DevSecOps: Security-first engineering & compliance. 📖 Learn how they work together in Part 3 of my series → 🔗. #SRE #DevSecOps #CyberSecurity.

Do you see SRE & DevSecOps as separate roles, or are they merging?.

🚀 DevSecOps & SRE – Two critical disciplines, but do you need both?. ✅ SRE = Reliability, automation, observability.✅ DevSecOps = Security, shift left, compliance. 📖 Breaking it down in Part 3 of my series → 🔗. #SRE #DevSecOps #Cloud.

🔐 SRE isn’t just about reliability—it’s about security. ✅ Proactive observability & security monitoring.✅ Eliminating human error with automation.✅ Embedding DevSecOps into SRE practices.
