Shift Left .. to Shield Right
The Silent Defender you Overlooked!
Firewalls, anti-viruses, and intrusion detection systems are everywhere — but they often come too late. By the time security teams react, vulnerabilities have already been designed into the software itself.
In this thought-provoking session, we’ll uncover the silent, invisible firewall that most organizations overlook: Secure Requirements Engineering (SRE). You’ll discover why cybersecurity failures often begin with poorly defined or missing security requirements, and how proactive, well-engineered requirements can prevent entire classes of vulnerabilities before a single line of code is written.
We’ll also explore how the IIBA Cybersecurity Analysis (CCA) certification empowers professionals to bridge the critical gap between business, software engineering, and cybersecurity — making requirements your first and strongest line of defense.
This talk will challenge your assumptions, introduce practical methods, and offer a new perspective on building security into software from the ground up.
What You Will Learn:
- Why most cyber defenses are reactive — and how requirements fix that.
- The role of Secure Requirements Engineering (SRE) in modern cybersecurity.
- How IIBA CCA helps build business-aligned, risk-aware security requirements.
- Practical steps to shift security left — starting at the requirement level.
- How AI can assist (but not replace) human-driven cybersecurity analysis.
Who Should Attend:
- Cybersecurity Analysts & Architects
- Software Engineers & DevSecOps Teams
- Business Analysts & Product Owners
- IT Risk & Compliance Professionals
- Anyone tired of security being an afterthought
