Security Champion Blog

Through a combination of conversations and firsthand experience, we have developed a sixth sense about the mistakes that are most commonly made over the lifetime of a champion program which lead to failures.

In a recent webinar hosted by Wizer, Katilyst's Dustin Lehr joined Gaby Friedlander to explore the importance of cultivating a strong security culture through Security Champion programs.

The key to building security culture is motivating and inspiring your colleagues to take proactive action - focusing on the carrot, not the stick. This can be a lot of work, so we created Katilyst to lift the burden.

With employees dispersed across various locations, ensuring that everyone aligns to security best practices can prove a difficult challenge. In this week's post we explore some methods to build and maintain a strong security culture in remote work companies.

Hosted by Semgrep and led by Tanya Janca (one of our advisors and a close friend to Katilyst), the panel explored the critical elements of creating and maintaining a successful Champions program.

You'll find some great insights into why these programs exist and what champions do on a day-to-day basis.
