Join us for Yorkshire DevOps #20 at the office of our kind sponsors Axiologik in Leeds. As usual there will be great speakers and a chance to network with like-minded people.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Brodie
Title: Start left – Securing container workloads by default
Description: Starting left with secure containers by default can significantly aid developers and reduce fatigue by integrating security early in the development process. This proactive approach helps developers focus on coding without constantly worrying about potential security issues. Automating security measures within these containers reduces the need for repetitive checks and streamlining the workflow. Consequently, this fosters a more efficient development cycle, allowing developers to concentrate on innovation and productivity. Ultimately, early integration of secure containers enhances overall security, reduces stress, and promotes a more seamless development experience.
