CloudNativeSecurityCon North America 2024

Lets face it, the current approaches to security are not working. Centralized security teams are not the domain experts, and yet are tasked with securing highly dynamic cloud native environments. And, “Shift Left” just adds more burden to already busy developers, who may not have context or proper training in security best practices. The emergence of platform engineering, along with cloud native best practices of codification and automation, offers a new way: automating security and compliance using cloud native policy as code! In this session, Poonam and Jim will present both the security and operations teams perspective on adopting policy as code combined with cloud native best practices, to implement guardrails in the platform layer, so both developers and security teams can focus on what they do best.
