Steve Giguere -- Cloud AppSec

Cloud security is on an evolutionary path, with newer platforms embracing secure-by-default settings. This has led to a significant improvement in security but also adds complexity as developers need to understand these defaults when deploying to the cloud. Steve Giguere has experienced a wide breadth of technologies throughout his career, spending the aero, telecoms, and automotive industries improving quality, safety, velocity, and efficiency. After spending many years as a solution architect, specializing in Kubernetes security and establishing DevSecOps best practices for enterprise CI/CD pipelines, he's currently a Cloud Security Advocate with Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto. Specializing in cloud and application security.
