What every technologist needs to know about security

Ali Farooqui at Everyman Cinema on 1st May, 2025.

Security has been on your list of things to do for the past few years. You’ve been asked to consider security every day, for as long as you can remember. Every so often, someone from the C-suite asks you to do security, and you’re not even sure what kind of security you should be doing anymore.

Ali’s talk will cover what drives security conversations for leaders, what changes the narrative from security being a tax, what is the Security Poverty Line, and what are Key Risk Indicators and where should you push back and why that doesn't always work. Expect takeaways on how to overcome these cultural challenges, and why it’s OK to be wrong.
