About this event
Secure software development is no longer a niche concern reserved for specialized teams. If you build, review, or influence software architecture in environments where security and reliability matter, understanding how IEC 62443 connects to SDLC and design decisions can reshape how you approach your work from day one. This online meetup focuses on IEC 62443 through the lens of software architecture and the software development lifecycle. It is designed for people who want a practical, discussion-friendly setting to explore how security requirements show up in real development processes, design tradeoffs, and technical decision-making. About the Event IEC 62443 is widely associated with industrial cybersecurity, but its real value becomes clearer when you translate it into the daily work of
Who should attend
This is for you if you want to better connect secure development practices with real architecture and delivery decisions. - You design or influence **software architecture** and want a stronger understanding of how IEC 62443 thinking applies before implementation starts. - You work in **software engineering or development** and want to understand how security expectations can be incorporated into the SDLC in a way that is practical, not purely theoretical. - You are part of a **product security, application security, or cybersecurity** function and need better ways to collaborate with engineering teams around design-stage decisions. - You lead or support **technical governance, review, or compliance-related work** and want to translate standards into conversations developers and architects can actually use. - You are responsible for **cross-functional alignment** between security, engineering, and system design, and you need shared language that helps teams make better decisions earlier. - You enjoy **community-driven technical meetups** where learning is paired with discussion, comparison of approaches, and professional networking with people tackling similar challenges.
