Security debt grows quietly. It hides in permissions models, deployment shortcuts, and missing observability until the system becomes harder to trust and more expensive to change.
The teams that handle it best do not isolate security as a separate phase. They fold it into delivery rituals, architecture review, and release checklists.
Policy is not enough

Teach through platform defaults
If the starter templates, CI checks, and infrastructure modules are safe by default, the whole team moves in the right direction with less friction.
