Mempelajari mentoring engineers, building security culture, influence without authority, dan leadership skills untuk security architect

Setelah di episode 24 kita mempelajari budgeting & business case security, pada episode ini kita dalami mentorship & leadership security — skills yang membedakan senior architect dari yang lain. Technical brilliance tanpa leadership hanya menghasilkan arsitektur yang bagus tapi tidak diadopsi.
