Security Champion

Info about Security Champion

Ideally, each development team should have one or more team-members who takes on the role of Security Champion. When an area are supported by many small teams (1-2 persons) this area should be represented by one or more security champions.

A Security Champion is a team-member who amplifies the security message at the team level.

In practice, this means to act as the "security conscience" of the team. You do not need to be a security expert to become a Security Champion, an interest for security is more than enough.

Info

Please note that security is a team responsibility, and the Security Champion is not more accountable for security than any other team member

Tasks could involve:

  • Staying up-to-date with best practices and security related news
