About Tracy Ragan

Tracy Ragan is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of DeployHub, a cybersecurity innovator focused on Continuous Vulnerability Management (CVM) for software deployed in high-assurance environments. With over 25 years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, and secure delivery pipelines, Tracy has led groundbreaking advancements in securing the software supply chain for edge, embedded, HPC, and cloud-native systems.

Tracy’s expertise is rooted in decades of hands-on experience, beginning with her role as Co-Founder and COO of OpenMake Software, where she pioneered agile software build automation. Her strategic leadership led to the development of OpenMake Meister, a build orchestration tool used by hundreds of enterprise teams and responsible for over $60M in partner revenue. That deep experience laid the foundation for her current work—eliminating security blind spots in deployed software environments.

At DeployHub, she leads a team committed to accelerating vulnerability remediation timelines from months to minutes. The DeployHub platform uses agentless, real-time mapping of software package consumption to expose vulnerabilities missed by traditional static and dynamic scanners. The system’s unique architecture enables automated remediation across modern DevSecOps pipelines, directly supporting zero-trust, defend-forward cyber strategies critical to the Department of Defense and U.S. Space Force.

Tracy is a nationally recognized expert in DevSecOps and secure software delivery. She serves on the Governing Board of the Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) and the Technical Oversight Committee for the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF), where she influences standards and best practices for securing the software supply chain within the CI/CD implementation. She also directs the Ortelius open-source project under the Linux Foundation, which tracks software component versioning to support SBOM consumption and software integrity validation.

Tracy’s leadership is both strategic and technical. Her mission is aligned with key federal modernization efforts, particularly those that require visibility into deployed software assets, mission assurance for software-defined systems, and real-time vulnerability response. She is also a committed community builder, advocating for transparent, collaborative innovation across government, open-source, and commercial sectors.

Whether it’s mentoring open-source contributors or collaborating with the DoD to secure space-based systems, Tracy leads with clarity, conviction, and a deep understanding of the developer experience. She doesn’t just build tools—she builds the ecosystems that make those tools matter.
