Securing Platform Engineering - Embedding Security Controls, Policies, and Monitoring by Design

Learn how to integrate security into platform engineering workflows through a practical framework that embeds security controls, policies, and monitoring by design. Discover how to leverage Policy-as-Code tools including ARM templates, CloudFormation, and Terraform to enforce consistent security measures and prevent misconfigurations across multiple cloud providers. Explore best practices for implementing Identity and Access Management (IAM), Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and Zero Trust architectures that minimize unauthorized access while maintaining system scalability. Understand how to establish automated compliance processes and implement runtime observability using advanced tools like eBPF and OpenTelemetry to continuously monitor workloads and detect security anomalies in real time. Gain insights from real-world experience with securing cloud-native environments and learn to create infrastructure and platform workflows that maintain security and compliance standards while enabling rapid, reliable software delivery.
