DeveloperWeek Management 2024 + AI DevSummit 2024 (+ DW Europe/LATAM 2024)

Robin Tatam, Puppet by Perforce,  Senior Technical Marketer and Evangelist

It’s scary out there. AI is now contributing to a sharp rise in cyberattacks, burdening IT leaders with increased security demands and a never-ending cycle of compliance requirements. Factor in expanding infrastructure footprints, shrinking budgets, and a global cyber skills shortage, and it becomes clear that automation is the only way to ensure continuous baseline compliance — and collaboration between ops and security is no longer optional.

In this session, explore these challenges facing modern organizations — and highlight how infrastructure as code helps establish and maintain an integrated approach to safeguarding against emerging threats.

Key takeaways of this session will include:

• Automation use cases for improving security posture and accelerating regulatory compliance, from patching to ransomware to vulnerability mitigation (think Log4j and XZ Utils)
• How proactivity changes the game
• Appreciating the role of automation in auditability
• How Puppet uses infrastructure as code to enforce compliance and support the fight against vulnerabilities and cyberattacks
