Keynote | Go Beyond Gatekeeping: A Systems Design Approach to Security Engineering

Security teams are moving from being gatekeepers to becoming collaborative engineers. Yet, security often falls into the trap of threat modeling and requirements, leading to friction and loss of trust with other departments. This talk urges a shift to viewing security as a systems design challenge. Instead of issuing mandates or imposing requirements, we should collaborate to redesign production systems. Karthik will draw from real-world experiences at fast-growing companies to outline the approaches that have been successful, lessons learned, and pitfalls to avoid. The talk will also explore the potential for using AI and Large Language Models to alleviate resource constraints and introduce new capabilities.
