With the rapid pace of cloud adoption, less time is spent ensuring that systems are built and operated effectively and with proper cyber hygiene. As a result, continuous controls monitoring (CCM) has emerged as indispensable for ensuring both security and regulatory compliance. Travis will discuss how CCM: transforms reactive security measures into a proactive stance; strengthens security protocols and embeds compliance within cloud operations; and streamlines the protection of digital assets in an ever-evolving landscape.

With systems becoming increasingly cloud-native and ephemeral, manual approaches no longer work, can’t scale, and are not timely enough to manage risk. Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM) is needed to allow cloud adoption in highly regulated industries without sacrificing security. The speed of the cloud, AI development, and digital transformation is quickly reaching a point where human-based risk and compliance business processes cannot keep up. A modern, compliance-as-code approach is needed via CCM platforms to ensure risk and compliance processes can execute in real-time to keep pace with modern cloud technology.

Embracing compliance-as-code to allow business processes to execute at machine speed, generate self-updating paperwork, and leverage AI and mini-robot automations to validate and assess the results. Consider more sophisticated DevOps approaches leveraging CI/CD software factories to push security from code to cloud. The new CCM approach is to shift security processes left across every layer of the application lifecycle.
