The Evolving Practice of Security
As technology has evolved from on-premise data centres to cloud native systems, the practices of managing that technology has evolved giving us benefits like continuous integration and deployment and configuration as code and cloud orchestration platforms. But security practices have generally not evolved to match, we find security practitioners are still fighting the wars of yesterday, fighting firewalls and network configurations that simply don’t exist today.
In this talk, you’ll learn what practices that are evolving in the security space, and how developers and security can collaborate more with new and modern practices.
