Security should be integrated into platform engineering to enhance developer autonomy and innovation rather than act as a gatekeeper. By leveraging policy-as-code, centralized secrets management, and identity-based authentication, organizations can create a security framework that supports rapid development while maintaining robust protection against risks. This approach fosters collaboration between security and development teams, enabling a more efficient and secure workflow.
