Why Security-First Development Helps You Ship Better Software Faster

After leading engineering teams through multiple transformation initiatives, I’ve learned that one of the biggest misconceptions in our industry is that shipping secure software has to create delivery friction. This session challenges the traditional “develop slow, test lots” mentality by exploring how positioning security and reliability at the beginning of your software development workflow can accelerate delivery.

Discover how automated security and reliability checks, integrated into your CI/CD pipeline, transform security from a bottleneck into a driver for increased release speed. Learn practical strategies for embedding security-first thinking into modern software systems and hear examples of how teams have shifted security left to ship secure software faster.
