Three Decades of OpenSSL: A Leadership Conversation
Tuesday October 13, 2026 09:50 - 10:50 CEST
Thirty years ago, SSLeay β€” the library that became OpenSSL Library β€” was born from the work of Eric A. Young and Tim Hudson. In this conversation, moderated by Magda Zdunkiewicz, they join Matt Caswell to reflect on how a two-person project became critical global infrastructure, the lessons of three decades, and where OpenSSL Library goes from here.

Beyond the Checkbox: How Product Certifications Drive Ongoing Security Strategy and Market Access
Tuesday October 13, 2026 14:20 - 14:50 CEST
Beyond the Checkbox will show how product certifications can become a strategic advantage instead of just a compliance burden. Using real-world examples, you'll see how to reduce engineering effort through smarter operating models, reuse and maintenance paths, lab partnerships, and automation and AI, while keeping rigor intact as requirements like PQC and entropy continue to evolve. You'll leave with practical ideas to make your certification program more efficient, strategic, and valuable to the business.
