Speaking Topics

Zero Trust for Build Pipelines

Applying zero-trust principles to CI/CD environments. Why implicit trust in your pipeline is your biggest security gap.

Software Supply Chain Governance

Moving from reactive vulnerability scanning to proactive governance. Building a culture of security without slowing down delivery.

Build Chain of Custody (BCoC) as a Forensic Evidence Standard

Why cryptographic attestation of build environments is the future of supply chain security. The BCoC framework explained.

Compliance as Code with OPA/Rego

Writing policy in the same language as infrastructure. From abstract compliance requirements to executable guardrails.

From SBOM to BCoC: Why Ingredient Lists Are Not Enough

Understanding why 84% of organizations use SBOMs yet supply chain attacks keep rising. The missing piece in your security story.

Building a Supply Chain Security Program from Scratch

A practical roadmap for engineering leaders. From zero to verifiable pipelines in 90 days.
