Security That Scales: Building Trust and Compliance into Your Startup DNA

Cybersecurity for founders who want to build something that lasts, not just something that works.

As a founder, cybersecurity probably feels like an expensive headache you'll deal with "later"—until your first big customer sends you a 200-question security survey, or you realize a data breach could kill your company overnight. This session gives you the cybersecurity essentials every founder needs to know, without the jargon or fear-mongering.

Here's what we'll cover:

- Protecting your assets without blowing your budget or slowing down development

- Understanding what enterprise customers actually want when they evaluate your security (hint: it's not what you think)

- Building security and privacy by design so you're not scrambling to bolt it on later

- Surviving the Security Design Review that can make or break your biggest deals

- Managing third-party risks that could torpedo your startup

- Navigating new cybersecurity and privacy regulations and what you need to do right now.

Whether you're still in your garage or already scaling fast, you'll walk away with practical frameworks and tools that turn cybersecurity from a business blocker into a competitive edge. No technical background required—just bring your questions and your growth ambitions.
