Open this lesson in your favourite AI. It'll walk you through the why, explain the demo, and quiz you on the try-it list.
Security in a financial product is not a cost centre and not a checkbox — it's a feature users pay for. Banks compete on trust. The mature product-security org treats every shipped feature as having a security column on its specification: who can do this, what could go wrong, what's logged. Skip that column and the feature is incomplete.
Recommendation: treat security like accessibility — a non-negotiable design dimension. Every PRD has a 'Threats + Controls' section before engineering starts; every release has a security sign-off; every quarterly review reports security metrics alongside growth metrics.
Use these three in order. Each builds on the one before.
In one paragraph, explain 'security as a product feature' for a fintech.
