Cyber Fellows Speaker Series – Justin McCarthy
February 27, 10:00 am-11:30 am

In this session, Justin McCarthy, Co-Founder and CTO of StrongDM, will share how his team built a software factory —a non-interactive development system in which specifications and scenarios drive agents to write code, execute harnesses, and iterate toward convergence—without human authorship or review. He’ll unpack the principles behind this shift, including why they adopted the rules that code must not be written or reviewed by humans, and what that means for the engineering discipline and security. Justin will explore the implications for cybersecurity, from redefining trust boundaries to enforcing invariants and runtime controls in systems generated by agents. Learn more about The StrongDM Software Factory.
The Cyber Fellows Speaker Series is open to Cyber Fellows, related faculty, and our external partners. It is an opportunity for Cyber Fellows to have deep conversations with cyber industry professionals, venture capitalists, founders, and entrepreneurs.
