Securing a Paved Road at John Lewis Partnership

How do you continuously secure 100 digital services made up of 400 microservices with 7000 deployments per year?
How do you ensure cross-cutting security controls that still enable 40 product teams to innovate and release without friction?

In this talk we'll explore how we’ve transformed security in our product delivery at the John Lewis Partnership, by solving common technical, organisational and process challenges with scalable and robust security controls, practical workflows, and all without an army of security specialists.
