Keynote Speaker
“Making the world a little more secure - lessons learned from designing, building & running a global Product Security Program.”
Matthew Bohne
Vice President, Chief Product Security Officer Honeywell Corporate
At Honeywell, my leadership spans the full spectrum of product security, from leading the secure software development lifecycle to helping shape international cyber regulation to how to be compliant to them. My tenure has been marked by the successful deployment of a comprehensive cybersecurity program with a global team of over 290 product focused cybersecurity experts, impacting all of Honeywell’s diverse products and developers. Our team’s dedication to ‘security by design’ principles has fortified Honeywell’s cybersecurity posture on a global scale.
My 20+ years of expertise is deeply rooted in securing critical infrastructure and ensuring cybersecurity and privacy are woven into the fabric of product development. Drawing on my CISSP certification and hands-on experience in securing Nuclear, Pharmaceutical and Industrial Control Systems, I’ve established robust cybersecurity standards and cultivated a risk-informed approach, positioning Honeywell as a resilient leader in product security.

Prediction Is Not Protection
Application security has become a forecasting exercise.
We rely on CVEs, scanners, and severity scores to predict what might go wrong. But in an AI-driven world, where code ships faster and attacks move faster, prediction is no longer enough.
Forecasts don’t tell you what’s being exploited. They don’t tell you what’s reachable. And they don’t tell you what’s under attack right now.
This talk shows why forecast-only security breaks down in the machine-speed-era, and what replaces it.
You’ll see how runtime visibility changes application security from a guessing game into an operational discipline – revealing real attack paths, reducing noise, and enabling teams to detect and stop attacks in production.

AI Hype vs Reality - Don't Secure the Spectacle
If AI headlines are driving your priorities, it’s time to recalibrate. This session dismantles three AI security myths, then addresses what’s more urgent: how today’s human risk scales into tomorrow’s agentic risk at machine speed. From misplaced trust in automation to behavioral blind spots, we’ll examine how psychology and prioritization shape enterprise exposure. You’ll leave ready to prioritize the risks that will define the next era.
