DevOps will be a major benefactor with vulnerability and compliance tracking workflows. Controls such as vulnerability management, network segmentation, and firewallingOpens a new window can be managed while consistency can be measured through audit reports. Kole further added, “In addition, our container security program will expand to enable different users from DevOps, operations, security and compliance teams to utilize the security platform, requiring more granular controls which can be customized for each role.
