Dan Bergh Johnsson
AI Head, Omegapoint
Dan Bergh Johnsson works at the intersection of software architecture, security, and large-scale system design. He has decades of experience designing and reviewing complex systems where security, stability, and delivery speed are in constant tension. Dan is co-author of Secure by Design (Manning) and a frequent international conference speaker. His talks focus on how architectural and design choices — increasingly involving AI — shape long-term security, system behavior, and organizational responsibility. He is particularly interested in what gets lost when productivity increases faster than system understanding.

Grab your seat nowSecure by Design — Ideas and Techniques
Introductory lecture by Dan Bergh Johnsson and Daniel Deogun in room West Wing
Monday June 1st, 11:00 - 12:30
Security is a design concern, not just an implementation concern. This session shows how domain modelling, type design, and boundary thinking can structurally eliminate entire classes of vulnerability - before attackers ever get a chance.
Key takeaway: Security is a quality aspect of software - like maintainability or correctness. Teams that design for quality get security as an emergent benefit
Secure by Design — A Design Lens on Real Breaches
Deep-dive lecture by Daniel Deogun and Dan Bergh Johnsson in room Lemaire
Wednesday June 3rd, 09:00 - 10:30
Real breaches, analysed not for how they were exploited but for why they were exploitable. Each reveals a design omission that Secure by Design thinking could have caught — and a lesson you can apply to your own systems.
Key takeaway: Breaches have root causes deeper than the exploit. Learn to trace them back to design omissions
