Standardization and Security - A Perfect Match

This session talks about challenges Northwestern Mutual faced with too many tools and too much choice. We talk about the idea of "Paradox of Choice" and how it applies to Platform Engineering. Our approach of standardizing involved standardizing the tooling, the CI/CD pipelines and implementing many guardrails. We also discuss the many cultural and organizational implications with this approach.
