Keynote: Trends in Modern Cloud Security Operating Models

The world is going multi-cloud. The transition from traditional on-premises datacenters and environments to dynamic, cloud infrastructure is complex and introduces new challenges for cloud security. There are more systems to manage, more endpoints to monitor, more networks to connect, and more people & machines that need access. Traditional security models, approaches and tools are unable to scale with the speed of cloud delivery and evolving nature of cloud operating models. In this talk, HashiCorp's CISO talks about market trends on modern Cloud Security Operating models, and how creating a central set of shared services that provide automation around operations, security, networking, deployment, and policy governance enables companies of any size to build a resilient cloud security operations program. This talk will cover practical considerations for securing cloud provisioning, architecture, security, networking and application delivery life cycles with an inside view of how HashiCorp built its security program from ground up.
