The cloud represents the most disruptive trend in enterprise IT over the past decade, and security teams have not escaped turmoil during the transition. It’s understandable for security professionals to feel like they’ve lost some control in the cloud and feel frustrated while attempting to get a handle on the cloud “chaos” in order to secure.

There is a lot of talk about DevSecOps these days, and we've been working in the area for years now and have learned some things that work and some that don't. First, we'll give you our view on what DevSecOps is, and then we'll make a few recommendations on how to start doing it and get real results in an hour or two!
