Codify Workflows for Security and Speed

In this talk, the founding team at Sym will discuss the trend of workflow automation via declarative code.

We will compare and contrast the practice of workflow automation in the context of CI/CD, low-code business applications, and security workflows.

The founders will draw on their prior experiences in heavily regulated industries to discuss the challenges that engineering teams often face when trying to move fast while staying secure and compliant at the same time.

In the backdrop of these prevailing issues, we will explain some key concepts of Sym and how it addresses some common security use-cases, such as SSH access management and break-glass workflows.
