Welcome to Episode 38 of The Defender’s Journal!
This week, Ashwin Mithra joins us - Global Head of Information Security at CloudBees, where his team sits at the intersection of software delivery, cloud operations and AI-driven development at scale.
In this episode, we explore why security can no longer survive as a checkpoint in the pipeline. Ashwin breaks down why developers route around friction, why “death by screenshot” governance doesn’t work when AI is shipping thousands of changes a day, and why the future of secure delivery depends on making security automatic, inherited and ambient - not something teams learn reluctantly at the end.
