Milind Daftari is a Cybersecurity Engineer at Visa with a Masters in Cybersecurity from New York University who thrives on turning security from a blocker into an enabler. He’s built and owned security from the ground up—shaping secure architectures, automating vulnerability scans, weaving SAST/DAST/SCA tools into CI/CD pipelines, and running secure code reviews that catch issues before they ever reach production. He’s tackled everything from deploying applications on servers to training teams on security best practices, always with a developer-first mindset. Milind also experiments with large language models to automate routine security analysis, crafting solutions that surface the right insights without drowning teams in noise. Whether mentoring newcomers or collaborating with seasoned engineers, Milind’s goal is the same: make security feel like part of the flow, not an obstacle. His talks focus on real-world tactics that help teams build, ship, and secure software faster and more confidently.
