Fintech Security, Minus the Bottleneck: Lock Down Access First
Logging in isn’t permission. Manny Khan, most recently serving as the Deputy CISO at BitGo, and Staris CEO, Adam Cecchetti, on why access is the first thing to get right as you grow, and how to prove it’s locked down.
Growing fintech teams ship constantly, and money moves fast, so a flaw in your product gets expensive quickly. Each action that moves money has to prove two things: who the user is, and that they’re allowed to do it. Most failures happen in the gap between the two. This session shows you how to close that gap first, without slowing your releases.
What You’ll Hear
- The one rule to build around: no unauthorized money movement
- Why logging in (authentication) isn’t the same as being allowed to act (authorization)
- How to find the weak points in how your system is built, not just individual bugs
- How to prove each change to an account or payment ends the way it should
- What that proof looks like in practice, from Adam Cecchetti, CEO of Staris
- 30 minutes of live Q&A with all three speakers
Who It’s For: CISOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, and security leads at growth-stage fintech and financial services companies.
Format: A 30-minute session on Google Meet, followed by 30 minutes of open Q&A.
