Security Operations, Reliability, and Securing Google with Heather Adkins

Guest: Heather Adkins, Sr Director, Information Security @ Google Topics: Your RSA presentation has 3 pillars: zero trust, microservices, automation/zero prod, is this all you need to be secure & reliable in the modern world? Let’s drill down again into the “secure and reliable” concept, are you sure that they are interrelated? Is there a risk that microservices could actually increase attack surface? What are the practical security upsides of “no touch production”?  SRE and DevOps revolutionized IT, can we expect a similar revolution for security? Where would it come from?
