The path to security champions
How Workday utilized agile learning to upskill developers
Organizations often approach security with the goal of reducing their risk profile organically - usually by identifying developers who can evolve into security champions. However, the challenge in identifying and nurturing security champions is to build a program that can scale over time and empower developers to help increase the overall security posture of an organization.
Knowing where to start is key. Workday, the leading provider of enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, chose the Secure Code Warrior agile learning platform to not only baseline at the technical level the security skills of their developers, but establish a unique belting program that upskills developers who express a desire to learn more about security, and who are committed to reducing the introduction of security flaws at Workday. With the launch of its security champions program, Workday has seen engagement from over 300 developers across the world.
Join us as we hear from Alex Uda, Head of Information Security Training & Awareness, who will be accompanied by Adam Darcy - a Sr. Software Developer - to discuss how Workday’s shift from static security training to agile learning created a robust program of security champions that scaled security across the organization.
In this webinar you will learn:
-
How Workday assessed their risks in order to build their goals around the security champions program
-
How belting and certifications nurtured security champions across developer teams
-
How to structure implementation, keep developers engaged, and build a secure code culture over time
