Secure by Design: Building Security into Engineering Workflows and Teams

"I am going to be doing a talk, "Secure by Design: Building Security into Engineering Workflows and Teams". You're here to learn from me. I would love to learn from you. I've actually got some Slido questions throughout the presentation just to find out a bit about your challenges, if you've tried doing things, where you're at, so it helps me tailor a bit more."

"I've got four or five questions in there. I'll start with what you'll learn. We're going to talk about how security needs to be integrated early and continuously. Communication and collaboration, so the people side, the humans are critical. Also, automation, having standardized, automated processes. I think it was Forrester once said, manual processes are doomed to fail, so we're going to talk a lot about that."

Security must be integrated early and continuously into engineering workflows to reduce risk and shift security left. Human factors such as communication and collaboration are critical for successful security adoption across teams. Standardized, automated processes reduce error and improve repeatability; manual processes are doomed to fail. Security champions and targeted communication workshops build internal capability and influence. Regular lightweight surveys and role-based feedback help tailor practices to developers, managers, operations, product, and architecture. Cross-regional and cross-functional engagement supports consistent implementation and learning across organizations. Automation tooling, clear ownership, and measurable metrics enable continuous improvement and scale.
