The move to AWS enables new application and architectural patterns that are in a continual state of change. The only way that your infrastructure, security, and operations can keep pace with these changes is with automation. In this session, we discuss the various automation tools you can use to first deploy the AWS infrastructure (as code), add the VM-Series to protect against threats (security as code), and then automatically update the policy based on Amazon GuardDuty or AWS Security Hub findings (operations as code). We conclude with a brief demonstration.

NEED FOR AUTOMATION
• Rapidly deploy new applications: Dev →Test → Prod
• Improve security, increase agility, reduce effort to achieve business goals
• Inject security into DevOps → DevSecOps
