The Software Mindset

Security vs. Developer Velocity: The False Dichotomy


Listen Later

In this episode, we debunk the myth that security and developer velocity are inherently at odds. Dapo & I explore how organizations can implement security measures that enhance rather than hinder development speed, examining modern DevSecOps practices, shift-left security approaches, and automation tools that integrate seamlessly into development workflows.

  • "What if your security practices could make your developers move faster? The data shows companies with mature security integration deploy 3x more frequently with 80% fewer hotfixes."
  • "The most innovative companies aren't choosing between security and speed—they're weaponizing security as their competitive advantage in getting to market faster."

Learn practical strategies for building a security culture that accelerates innovation rather than blocking it, with real-world examples from companies that have successfully balanced these seemingly competing priorities.
