Avoiding a Cloud Security Collision with Policy-Based Automation

In this session, Charlene O'Hanlon (Media Ops) brings together Josh Stella (CEO, Fugue) and Matt Howard (EVP, Sonatype) to explore the inevitable convergence of development, ops, and security, and why this represents the first-ever opportunity to align all cloud stakeholders with policy automation up and down the stack — and left and right across the SDLC.

This session will provide valuable insights to help you think more critically about the security of your unique cloud use case, empower your teams to move faster in the cloud than ever before, and reduce risk along the way.
