Who better to tackle the future of secure software delivery than someone who's lived the pain of shipping code in one of America's most regulated industries? Meet Michael Edenzon, CEO and Co-Founder of Fianu, who's transforming how enterprises achieve continuous compliance—and bringing his battle-tested insights to DMV Rising's "Securing the Future" panel.
As Director of DevOps at PNC Bank, Edenzon lived the daily reality of shipping software in one of the most regulated industries in America. He experienced firsthand how manual governance processes create bottlenecks, introduce human error, and ultimately compromise both velocity and security. Rather than accept these constraints as inevitable, he channeled that experience into building solutions—first by documenting the challenges, then by automating them away through Fianu.
That hands-on experience with compliance bottlenecks in a high-stakes environment directly informed his vision for automated governance.
He's literally written the book on DevSecOps governance. His co-authored novel "Investments Unlimited" tackles how organizations can handle audit, compliance, and security while maintaining development velocity—essential context for discussing AI's impact on these processes.
He's implemented solutions at enterprise scale. His tenure at PNC Bank meant dealing with real regulatory requirements in production environments serving millions of customers. He understands what actually works when failure isn't an option.
He's automating the future of compliance. Fianu's platform, with its 40+ integrations and immutable evidence collection, represents his practical answer to the problems he encountered—turning manual processes into automated workflows that capture every build, scan, test, and deployment.
What makes Edenzon valuable to the DMV security ecosystem is his ability to bridge the developer and compliance worlds. Fianu's philosophy, "built for developers, loved by GRC"—reflects years spent understanding both sides of this divide. For a region heavy with federal contractors and regulated industries, this perspective is essential.
When Edenzon joins the "Securing the Future" panel alongside leaders from Manifest Cyber and SixMap, he'll bring battle-tested insights on governing both human-written and AI-generated code. As organizations grapple with open-source components comprising 70-90% of modern software while AI transforms development itself, his experience automating governance at scale becomes increasingly relevant.
