Build & Lead – Security as a Team Sport
In many organizations, security and engineering are still on opposing teams — one driven by speed, the other by control. The result is friction, fear, and slow delivery.
In this interactive session for CTOs and engineering leaders, Sina Yazdanmehr will explore with us how to transform security into a shared culture rather than a mere checklist.
Sina is an experienced IT security consultant with over a decade of experience, and is also a co-organizer of the BSides Berlin security conference.
Find out what happens when teams treat security as part of how they build — with openness, trust, and psychological safety — rather than as an afterthought. After a short presentation, we will work hands-on to apply the concepts and discuss challenges faced by participants.
