This talk explores the historical reasons behind the separation of development, operations, and security within enterprises—why it once made sense, where it went wrong, and what we can do to fix it. We’ll examine the unintended consequences of this split and how it has led to systemic friction, misaligned priorities, and long-term security vulnerabilities.

Audiance will gain insight into the semantic and cultural disconnects that have developed between these teams, and how those disconnects have shaped—and sometimes broken—our technical architectures. Through real-world examples, we’ll examine the critical failures that emerge when security is treated as someone else’s job, and how that mindset continues to cause lasting damage.

The session isn’t technical, but it is deeply practical. Attendees will leave with a new perspective on cross-functional collaboration, concrete strategies to realign teams, and guidance on using tools and shared language to bridge silos. If you work in or around large enterprise environments, this talk offers a path forward—toward integrated, resilient, and truly collaborative tech organizations.
