Modern Cloud Security Programs hire for builders who can develop tools that help developers walk down a Paved road where security is not a blocker but at the same time prevents developers from making security mistakes. In this episode we spoke with Travis McPeak who shared his experience from his time at Netflix to talk about Modern Cloud Security Teams look like and work on day to day at scale for a large development team and how others can take some insights from this for their own Cloud Security Programs.
