Cloud is a new frontier that requires new architectures, higher velocity processes and crisper business-level metrics—all of which smacks security programs square in the face. This session will leverage the nearly 20 years of the speakers’ combined cloud experience to lay out a complete strategy for building out a cloud-first security program that covers infrastructure and application development.
