This must be the kind of trade publication many IT directors and CISO types read. Why not focus on application security? It's very frustrating when a whole security team only focuses on network firewalls and VPNs.
“Going down the path of segmentation and zero trust is a heavy operational lift,” Schell says. “I highly recommend a very automated approach that incorporates a lot of orchestration capabilities for consistency in deploying policies and gives you far greater capabilities in how you monitor, manage and audit the networks.”
2023 goals: get dinosaur IT to at least operate software automation tools without fear. I've never met a single IT person in my industry who knows what Ansible or Terraform means. When I do a demo, I can see the fear in their eyes and hear the fear in their voices.
@lazzarello that's amazing, that you have never met ppl knowing about Ansible and terraform. Amazing. But, to be honest, I only have met one.
So, yeah, I can somehow share your thoughts.
Maybe it's time for a blog post about "backend automation"?
@lazzarello Let's apply for ATO (all things open) 23 together 🙃☺️
@ralfroeber I've worked with many people who know of and use many backend automation frameworks but they never have the letters "IT" in their job title.
I'm interested in doing some conference presentations on backend automation for industries (like aerospace) that are only now adopting practices that were commonplace 10 years ago.
