As containers become commonplace for delivering and deploying applications, we’ve seen more of our customers taking a “lift-and-shift” approach to migrating their existing applications.

In this session, Patrick Maddox, Sr. Director, Twistlock Solutions Architecture, will reveal how an environmental science and engineering consulting company moved its 14-year-old app that models storm surge to containers. The move to containers for this company — which has typical data collection, modeling, and other core line-of-business applications — delivered immediate benefits, including consistency, security and compliance.

Attendees will learn:

• How the move to containers simplified and improved the security of this application
• Specifics about how containers lowered expenses, while enabling greater visibility into the vulnerability posture of the app throughout its lifecycle
• Why containers make compliance instantly easier, by enabling organizations to find and correct problems early on, enforce settings and automatically block non-compliant actions

Presenter: Patrick Maddox (LinkedIn profile) Sr. Director, Twistlock Solutions Architecture Prior to joining the Twistlock Team, Patrick spent the 4 years building the SA and PS practices at Puppet and wearing a number of different hats at Verizon.
