"Shift left” promised better security by bringing it earlier into the development lifecycle—but reality didn’t live up to the promise. Instead, security became a burden developers were expected to carry without the tools or context to do it effectively.

In this session, technology leaders who have lived it explore why “shift left” failed and what a more scalable, developer-aligned approach looks like. We’ll discuss how platform engineering can nurture security in the systems developers already use—without slowing velocity or introducing friction. For teams tired of DevSecOps buzzwords and ready for real solutions, this is fireside chat.
