Security leaders and managers are responsible for securing their organization’s cloud environments but are not always involved in their design and development—or even aware of what exists in their cloud. This session will cover a new approach that overcomes the cloud security gap facing security today in people, processes, and technology. Participants will learn a model for bringing security into the development and DevOps process, resulting in a stronger and more secure cloud environment and applications built in the cloud.
