Stephanie Olsen -
Director of Consumer Product Security & Trust,

Netflix’s scale - and its shift into higher-stakes moments like live events - demands a security and trust approach that’s built into every layer of the product and delivery ecosystem. From device partners and licensing requirements to playback experience and CDN visibility, this session shares how an end-to-end tech stack changes what you can measure, how fast you can respond, and how you stay ahead as adversaries increasingly weaponise generative AI.
In this talk, Stephanie will explore:
• Building defence-in-depth from device partners through playback and content delivery.
• Aligning legal, trust & safety, and security engineering for faster disruption.
• Adapting threat intelligence and metrics as GenAI accelerates adversary capabilities.
