You're not alone.

Through working with enterprises around the world, I have seen this unfortunate pattern play out time and time again. In this talk we'll explore the mental models, principles and practices that paint a potential path out of this Sisyphean nightmare.

You'll learn:

• How architecting the business is more important than architecting the solution.
• Why security doesn't seem the same benefits from agile way of working.
