Maintaining banking secrecy with the Swiss 🇨🇭 Cheese 🫕 principle

What do Swiss cheese, secure software delivery, and regulated financial environments have in common? More than you think.

In this fun-yet-serious session, Mark Cheret, Principal Platform Engineer at Neon and a security officer in the Swiss fintech sector, reveals how banking secrecy meets DevOps in an environment where speed and compliance must coexist.

Expect sharp insights into:

Applying the Swiss Cheese Model to real-world SDLC challenges

Managing vulnerabilities without clogging your delivery pipeline

Taming compliance requirements through GitOps, automation, and layered defenses

Concrete tips and tools you can apply whether you’re in finance, health tech, or just like your pipelines mature and your software mold-free.

Bring your appetite for risk—and mitigation.

This talk blends operational wisdom with a touch of absurdity and lots of war stories from shipping secure software under pressure.
