## Session Description: (1000 character max, written in third person)

Creating and enforcing software policy is a complex ecosystem to navigate. Policy can be applied at all levels of the 4C's of Cloud Native security (code, container, cluster, cloud) and many solutions appear similar but solve for completely different use cases.

This panel brings together representatives from the various cloud native projects involved in policy management. These experts will address common misconceptions and provide an high level overview for the state of the art in policy management in cloud native environments.

## Benefits to the ecosystem (1000 character max, tell us how the content of your presentation will better the ecosystem):

Policy Management is a complex topic and has typically been covered on a vendor-specific basis. This panel seeks to provide a platform for the audience to hear from an equal representation of the various projects working on policy and learn how each addresses various aspects of the whole.
