AWS Spotlight: Building a Resilient and Effective Culture of Security
Chamandeep Singh, Sr Security Partner Solutions Architect, APJ, AWS

Organisations today face pressure to rapidly deliver innovative, secure solutions and embrace disruptive technologies like generative AI. At AWS, we have found that culture has a greater impact on success than either strategy or technology. Cultural change is an ongoing process that can be derailed by competing priorities, lack of resources, and organisational inertia. What does the evolution of a culture of security look like, and what lessons can be learned from efforts by existing organisations, including AWS? This talk explores strategies and real-world examples for building an organisational culture where security is valued as fundamental to business success.
