Building an AI Security Champions Program
Date: Thursday, April 16 at 11 am ET / 8 am PT
Security champions programs are a proven way to scale security across large development teams, but the rise of AI-assisted development introduces new challenges, risks, and opportunities that traditional programs were not designed to handle. As AI coding assistants and autonomous agents accelerate how software is built, security champions play a critical role in embedding secure-by-design practices earlier and at greater scale.
In this one-hour session, learn how to build an AI-ready Security Champions Program from the ground up, empowering developers to advocate for security across both human-written and AI-generated code.
Attend this session to:
- Understand how the role of security champions evolves in AI-accelerated development environments
- Learn how to identify, train, and enable champions to address AI-specific risks alongside traditional AppSec concerns
- Discover how to define success, establish KPIs, and integrate security tooling into modern workflows
- Gain practical guidance on fostering collaboration, recognizing champions, and creating feedback loops that scale security as AI adoption grows
