Facilitated the first of our monthly #SecurityChampion meetups today and it was a total success! ๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŽ‰ Loved how many folks showed up and also started to engage more among each other - not taken for granted given our current culture. Also, seems they do appreciate fun hands-on group exercises to gain experience with things and share knowledge to help each other grow. We're off to a good start to co-create this community and I'm already curious where our shared journey will lead us. ๐Ÿ˜Š #AppSec

With my eyes on the next year's planning of competency growth at work I have a question to anyone working in #Security and/or #SecureDevelopment .

What are the good ways I could try to help the team that I'm the part of to improve how it's handling security (in general and in development)?

I have a few ideas, but it might be nice to see what other smart(er) brains can think of.  

#CyberSecurity #SecurityChampion

Personally, I'm keen to learn about places looking for specialized generalists like me who thrive on building great products that deliver value together with great people. Especially, if there's a clear focus on security to protect people and prevent harm.

Boosting for reach is appreciated - thank you!

After learning to apply some of that knowledge, I took the very path @Lemniscate describes.

Finding some security bugs got me time to study more and find more of them.

Doing that for a while got me on a short list to be a #securityChampion and doing THAT for a while got me into other #infosec initiatives.

That was a job ago and now I'm a full time security type. :)

The widely used depiction of a Security Champion as a masked hero seems to totally miss the point that a Security Champion should be identifiable and accessible within an organization. Not hide behind a mask! #securitychampion #appsec #cybersecurityawareness
