Abstract

You have heard of this term - Security Champions or was it Satellites (that sounds weird..)? But what are they really? Is it a good idea? How many companies are doing this? OpenSAMM mentions Security Champions throughout the model document from identifying the champions to having them contribute to the various phases of the SDLC. How do we measure and recognise that contribution? If you’re convinced it needs to be done, how do you manage a Security Champions programme (at scale)? What methods and tools exist? This presentation is introducing the new OWASP Top 10 Maturity Categories for Security Champions - method and tool.
