David Maclean

David has made the concept of ‘cloud’ the focus of his 15+
year career in tech to date. From initial deployments of VDC’s
(Virtual Data Centers) in 2007 to modern Hyperscaler
deployments today David has leveraged automation and
orchestration as part of the journey to realise a true security
first approach while developing, deploying and running
applications.
David has sought to maintain continuous security while
consuming cloud and cloud-native technologies, enabling
not only security through visibility, context and control on
running environments but also throughout the entire
application lifecycle regardless of deployment
methodologies. These outcomes are not only about helping
security teams drive further efficiency but also about
improving the ‘Release Fitness’ of applications and all round
improvement of the developer experience among many other
benefits for your business and its customers.

Scaling security in a cloud native world
The acceleration of not only the consumption of cloud but particularly the usage of modern build and deployment methodologies for applications in these environments means that neither repurposed on-premises security practices or even initial ‘Generation 1.0 Cloud Security’ options are enough to scale with the amount of change that can exist in these environments.

In this session we look at not only technology for cloud security but the people and processes required to enable changes in working practices and enable options to adopt Cloud Security 2.0. We’ll also look at some of the most advanced solutions out there in Enterprises today and how they enable security on an exponentially larger scale.
