Surviving the Security–Engineering Collision - SecTalks SYD0x61 (97th)

This is hybrid event. In-person ticket deadline has passed. Online admission ticket is available from our Humantix page.

Every engineer knows the pain. Every security pro knows the risk. This is where those worlds collide — in code, culture, and human behaviour. Join us for a brutally honest panel with two seasoned veterans dissecting what really makes security and engineering work (or fail).

Joining us for this session:

• Josh Lemon (panelist) - a seasoned digital forensics expert, bringing deep insight into incident response and the realities of securing systems under pressure.
• Edwin Kwan (panelist) - a Head of Product Security who has worked closely with countless development teams, helping them balance innovation with security.
• Pedram Hayati (host) - Security Researcher, Serial Entrepreneur, Founder of SecTalks.org, SecDim.com, Senior lecturer UNSW.edu, and Keynote speaker.
