The importance of platform engineers in a security program

Platform engineers play a crucial role in an organization's security program, as their work has a significant impact on the product's security posture. Despite this, their role remains ill-defined and they face various challenges such as hard-to-secure infrastructure, complex change management, and vulnerabilities in infrastructure that are costly to patch. To address these challenges, platform engineers need tooling to find misconfiguration early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and assistance in improving the design of their paved paths. Emerging best practices and investments in platform maturity will eliminate and mitigate security risks, enabling application developers to fix application vulnerabilities at a lower cost and higher speed than ever before.
