Automated security and compliance tests are how we track and assess our risk levels as we release changes. I’ll demonstrate a live walkthrough of building a compliance testing profile based on an industry-standard CIS Benchmark. Learn how to codify compliance profiles, incorporate such compliance testing into your release automation processes, and keep your internal stakeholders saying “yes, and” instead of “no, because...”.
