[Cheat sheet] 5 steps to realign your developer and security teams

Is it possible to enhance cloud security and boost developer velocity? Here's how to sow "peace with platforms" and get everyone on the same page about cloud security.

»1. Engage your platform heroes

Platform teams accelerate developer velocity by selecting tools and platforms that balance speed and security while eliminating long-standing misalignments between Dev and Sec teams.

»2 . Start to shift left

A "shift-left" approach integrates best practices into developer workflows, ensuring secure software without slowing development.

»3. Terminate tool sprawl

Redundant tools may drive unnecessary licensing costs, inconsistent security policies, vulnerabilities, and poor software integration.

»4 . Embrace SLM

Security Lifecycle Management is a proven framework that enables developers to operate with agility while providing a centralized approach to controlling costs and protecting access to sensitive information.

»5 . Automate workflows FTW

Deploy The Infrastructure Cloud, powered by HashiCorp Cloud Platform (HCP), to replace manual provisioning, standardize secure modules, and improve cloud security, application quality, and efficiency.
