Session: Security & Compliance without killing velocity
Security & Compliance and velocity are not mutually exclusive. By embedding security and regulatory requirements into agile workflows, fostering a culture of shared responsibility, and leveraging automation & AI, teams can maintain speed while staying compliant. The goal is to make compliance a catalyst for innovation—not a bottleneck. In today’s fast-paced development environments, striking the right balance between innovation and regulation is critical.

Attendees will gain insights into how compliance can be transformed from a perceived blocker into a strategic enabler of speed, quality, and trust. Whether you're a developer, security leader, or product owner, this talk will equip you with actionable approaches to build fast—and build right.Key Takeaways
