A Practical Approach to Security Automation
On-Demand Webinar

A Practical Approach to Security Automation

So your engineering team is using CI / CD and churning out code at a frenetic pace. It is unclear where the risk is, what controls to focus on and where in the SDLC to introduce those controls. We will introduce a practical, risk-based, PCI aligned approach to introducing security automation into the CI / CD pipeline to surface critical issues, shorten remediation time without bottlenecking the release. This approach will allow Engineering, Security and Internal Audit to ship product with confidence.
