Analyst Panel Discussion with Nirmata, Featuring Eric Newcomer

Misconfigurations are the leading cause of cloud security breaches and incidents. Cloud infrastructure properties are set using APIs and developer IDs are frequently over privileged, risking inadvertent changes that result in breaches and incidents.
A simple API configuration setting can change an AWS S3 bucket from private to internet accessible, for example, potentially exposing sensitive data. Many people talk about “shift left” as a potential remedy, but consider “shift down” as a better solution.
Join Eric Newcomer (Principal Analyst at Intellyx), Doug Levin Executive Fellow, Executive in Residence, and Lecturer at Harvard Business School), and Ritesh Patel (Co-founder and VP Products at Nirmata) for a lively – and possibly contentious – panel discussion around the benefits of “shift-left” versus “shift-down” cloud security.
You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of these strategies, learn real-world best practices for making your own software development environment more efficient and secure, and encourage a more harmonious developer team.
