Our Application Security team partners closely with our Platform Delivery (DevOps), Software Engineering, Product Management, and IT teams to provide security guard rails that seamlessly integrate with our SDLC in ways that make it easier for engineers to deliver secure applications and reduce risk to our customers and company.
