In a world where cyber threats are evolving faster than ever, building systems that are secure by design is not just a best practice—it’s a necessity. This session explores practical, architectural, and organizational principles for embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle. From initial requirements to deployment and operations, we’ll examine how to shift security left, reduce attack surface, and apply threat modeling early to anticipate and mitigate risks.

We’ll also explore how modern paradigms like Zero Trust, secure DevOps (DevSecOps), and AI-driven architectures change the threat landscape—and how security architects must adapt. Through real-world examples and architectural patterns, attendees will gain actionable insights into building resilient systems without compromising agility or innovation.

Key Takeaways:

• Core principles of Secure by Design
• Strategies to integrate security into every phase of system development
• Secure architectural patterns for APIs, cloud-native apps, and AI systems
• Common pitfalls and anti-patterns to avoid
• How to build alignment between security, development, and operations teams
