Secure by Design: The Decision-Makers’ Guide to Software Security Culture

Too often, software security is seen as the sole responsibility of technical and security teams.

That's why we're bringing Dr. Pamela O’Shea, Director at Shea Security to challenge that view in our upcoming webinar 'Secure by Design: The Decision-Makers’ Guide to Software Security Culture' on Tuesday 21 October 2025 at 3:00pm AEDT.

Through real-world examples and clear, actionable strategies, Dr. O’Shea will demystify software security for executives and decision-makers, unpacking why software may function, but that doesn’t always mean it’s secure and exploring why moving to secure software is as much a leadership responsibility as it is a technical one.

Join us to


  • Understand the critical role executives play in shaping a strong security culture.
  • Identify real risks and what can go wrong when security is overlooked.
  • Learn why AI and automation alone can’t provide the full solution.

Kicking off our two-part Secure by Design series, this webinar is tailored for non-developers but open to all. Developers, keep your eyes peeled.. your turn is next.

Software security - it’s cultural, strategic, and it starts from the top down with your decisions. Register now to secure your spot.
