Importance of Security and Compliance
Security and compliance are critical components of platform engineering that often get overlooked. As corporations grow, it becomes essential to integrate security measures from the beginning, especially in industries like healthcare where regulations such as HIPAA are predominant. Failing to address these aspects early may lead to challenges during audits, causing operations engineers to scramble to comply with new requirements. A proactive approach that includes standardizing compliance and security tools within development processes can significantly enhance efficiency and developer focus.
