SUMMARY:Compliance as code: Using automation to turn compliance and securit
 y into tests
DESCRIPTION:Brief Session Abstract:\nRegulatory compliance is a fact of lif
 e for every enterprise. At the same time\, competitive pressures are incre
 asing with the advent of game-changing new technologies and customer expec
 tations for digital services. This session will discuss a new approach to 
 maintaining compliance for businesses of all sizes to deliver new products
  and services at speed.\n\nSpeaker: Niamh (Pronounced “Neeve”) Cahill\
 , Senior Manager\, Solutions Architects\n\nSession Abstract:\nCompliance a
 s Code is the backbone driving our IT systems and services. At the same ti
 me\, competitive pressures are increasing with the advent of game-changing
  new technologies and customer expectations for digital services. In this 
 session\, Lead Cloud Automation Engineer\, of H&R Block and Galen Emery\, 
 Lead Security and Compliance Architect at Chef Software will discuss how e
 nterprises can deliver new products and services at high velocity while st
 ill maintaining compliance\, along with providing a unique real-world appr
 oach to compliance as code. The management of all business services\, appl
 ications and infrastructure exists in feedback loops that require constant
  optimization around cost\, availability\, performance\, security and usag
 e. This rapid acceleration can place IT teams in a reactive\, “fire dril
 l” mode that fosters mistakes\, makes it hard to drive standardization a
 nd best practices\, and detracts from the overall success of the business.
  In this highly decentralized world\, manual compliance is no longer suffi
 cient\; organizations must find automated ways to maintain compliance with
 out sacrificing agility. Making compliance an integral part of the deploym
 ent process is possible when compliance is expressed as code. Just as the 
 configuration of systems have shifted toward infrastructure as code\, you 
 can manage compliance using a programmatic language. This lets users defin
 e compliance requirements in a human- and machine-readable language. Once 
 you’ve codified your requirements\, you can run them as automated tests 
 that audit your systems. Attendees can expect to learn how to deliver cons
 istent\, efficient and highly repeating business outcomes at the lowest po
 ssible cost\, with the maximum availability and security\, while also allo
 wing users to expand into new and higher value-add roles across businesses
