Spacelift Hosts IaCConf Spotlight: A Focus on IaC Security and Governance

Following the remarkable success of the inaugural IaCConf, Spacelift is proud to announce its upcoming event, IaCConf Spotlight: IaC Security & Governance. This free virtual event is tailored to dive deeply into the pressing security challenges and governance issues surrounding Infrastructure as Code (IaC) environments as their usage continues to expand.

What to Expect

The IaCConf Spotlight is structured around the feedback from over 1,300 attendees of the first conference, which emphasized the need for deeper, practical discussions addressing real-world security challenges in the implementation of IaC.

Participants can expect expert-led sessions focusing on various critical aspects:

• - IaC Pipeline Security: Techniques on how to secure the entire IaC workflow, ensuring safe deployment practices.
• - Scanning and Remediation Strategies: Understanding how to effectively scan for vulnerabilities and implement remediation methodologies.
• - Open Source Risk Management: Strategies for assessing and managing the risks associated with open-source tools widely used in IaC.
