Shift Left: Why Security Comes First, Not Last

Location: Chernihiv Polytechnic National University, Chernihiv, Ukraine

Dates: June 22, 2026 – June 25, 2026

Presentation: June 22, 2026

Link: On event website

Speaker: Yevhen Patlan

Evgeniy Patlan leads Percona’s build and release engineering team. This session connects shift-left security to what he ships every week: packaging, pipeline automation, and supply-chain hygiene. Security is not a pre-release checkbox — it is a design constraint from day one, covering CI/CD, release engineering, SBOMs, and reproducible builds from real production work.
