Your organization’s entire infrastructure moved to the cloud last year, but your security team is still thinking like it’s 2015. They’re applying traditional network security controls to cloud environments, creating bottlenecks that slow down your deployments and leave massive security gaps.

Organizations desperately need professionals who can code secure applications AND understand cloud infrastructure security.
