  • Why security must start at architecture and design time
  • How DevSecOps makes security a shared responsibility
  • The role of continuous learning and secure coding practices
  • Why a strong security culture accelerates delivery instead of slowing it down

Security-first teams donโ€™t just reduce risk โ€” they build trust by design.
