Introducing Chef Compliance (ChefConf Online, June 2020)

Compliance and security for organizations remains a complex and unsolved puzzle. Customers have told us that Chef's automation stack has enabled them to take their first steps forward by scanning their fleet for issues and authoring remediation cookbooks for the most critical assets. The criticality of security and compliance work for IT leaders has been underscored by an endless parade of high profile breaches across every industry, which continue to rise in frequency and severity each year. Can we collect all the learnings from the Chef community and raise the bar on automation tools?

Customers have encouraged us to continue to innovate in this area by removing much of the delay and cost associated with content production, and enable them to take an enterprise-wide approach across even cloud and hybrid assets. What's needed is a policy-driven framework for benchmarks with controls which are easily customized to company compliance posture, including the ability to manage waivers as needed, including full visibility of approvals.

With the new Chef Compliance product, Chef includes a spectrum of certified, Chef-tested and fully supported audit and remediation content which represents best practices for securing each type of end point.

In this marquee session, the Chef team will introduce Chef Compliance, moving forward automation-at-scale for the DevSecOps community. See for yourself a demo on how Chef Compliance Audit helps security and operations teams maintain complete visibility over compliance status. See also how Chef Compliance Remediation helps close the loop between audit and remediation to allow for continuous compliance in the enterprise. And you'll hear some real world customer outcomes!
