Delicia De Jong

Delicia de Jong works at Chainguard, where she spends her days talking to engineering and security teams who are stuck in the same loop: endless CVEs, patching, and reacting to the next incident.

Before Chainguard, she worked with companies like Miro, Datadog and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, helping teams scale their workflows and platforms. Over time, one pattern kept showing up: teams weren’t struggling to build software, they were struggling to secure everything around it.

That’s what led her into the world of software supply chain security.

At Voxxed Days Amsterdam, Delicia shares what she sees across teams today, why traditional approaches to open source security are breaking down, and how organizations can move from constantly reacting to actually building secure software by default.
