Aimed at engaging security industry leaders in stimulating and candid discussions that inspire a new way of thinking about web app and API security, the series features Fastly’s own Kelly Shortridge, a senior principal product technologist, and Bea Hughes, staff security engineer at PagerDuty. They will be hosting five separate interview-style events with security thought leaders from the industry’s most innovative companies.

The series sessions will take place every Thursday in March at 12 p.m. PT/3 p.m. ET and will feature a 15-minute conversation followed by a 20-minute live Q&A where audience members can ask questions in real-time. Here’s the full lineup of speakers and topics:
