It's like a wrinkle in time. The online world is facing unprecedented workloads, reaching levels on a daily basis that usually only happen on the busiest days of the year. The cloud-native approach has been rapidly gaining popularity with businesses large and small.
In this new reality that we find ourselves, the effective work of distributed teams is more important than ever, and DevOps or DevSecOps are no different. Security is a critical matter that should be built into the earliest phases of web development, serving as a catalyst for teams making transitions to cloud-native practices.
Join The New Stack and Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks for this panel discussion on how remote and distributed DevOps teams tackle the challenges of applying the principles of cloud native security and shifting security left.

- Cheryl Hung, Director of Ecosystem, CNCF
- Carla Arend, Senior Program Director, Infrastructure Software, IDC
- John Morello, VP of Product, Prisma Cloud
- Alex Williams, Founder & Publisher, The New Stack
- Joab Jackson Managing Editor, The New Stack
