How it went
Some of the best security conversations happen away from a stage. Jutsu spent an afternoon at Titi's Empanadas on the Lower East Side for Empanadas & Exploits, a founder security social built on one rule: no jargon, no fear-mongering, no painfully long presentations.
Just coffee, empanadas, piraguas, and founders and operators trading real war stories about what keeps them up at night and what they wish they'd locked down sooner.
Nobody pitched anything. That's usually when people tell you what's actually broken.
