Financial institutions focus cybersecurity efforts on production systems while non-production environments - development, testing, analytics, and artificial intelligence and machine learning - remain underprotected despite containing sensitive data copies. Sixty percent of surveyed organizations have already experienced breaches in non-production environments, yet security teams face a critical dilemma: stringent controls stifle innovation and cause developer turnover, while inadequate protection leaves backdoors wide open. The challenge lies in balancing security with DevOps velocity, as traditional approaches kill productivity. Modern data protection requires irreversible transformation that's repeatable, fast, realistic and preserves referential integrity across enterprise systems, enabling secure development without innovation penalties.

This session, led by Aaron Jensen of Delphix, will cover:

• Why non-production environments are the new frontier for cyber risk;
• Five principles for securing DevOps data;
• Strategies to align data protection with speed, agility and innovation.
