Security Champions programs sound simple… until you try to run one
Hard to organize
You name a few champions, but there’s no structure, no plan, and no way to track what they’re doing.
Hard to keep going
Champions want to help, but without goals or recognition, they drift back to feature work.
Hard to measure
Training, progress, and coverage all live in different tools. You spend more time chasing updates than improving security.
Hard to scale
AppSec can’t sit in every sprint or review. Without champions in the code, most risks stay hidden until it’s too late.
Turns out, there’s a right way to do Security Champions
Make it clear
AppSecEngineer gives every champion a guided path, built from real-world journeys and skill levels, to keep them in the know on what to learn next and why it matters.
Keep it moving
Champions train inside focused collections tied to their tech stack. It’s practical, and they learn and apply without leaving their workflow.
See what’s working
From one dashboard, you can see every team’s champions, their progress, and where they’re stuck. Forget about chasing updates or guessing engagement.
Prove it fast
Reports show who’s trained, what’s covered, and how the program aligns with OWASP. When someone asks for proof, you already have it.
How AppSecEngineer champions your champions
Nominate your champions
Pick the people who already care about doing things right. Give them access with a click, and they’re set to lead security inside their own teams.
Train them right
The last thing they have to do is sit through slides or theory. Instead, they learn through hands-on paths built around the stuff they use every day.
See how they’re doing
You don’t have to chase updates or wonder if it’s working. One dashboard shows who’s active, what’s done, and which teams need a push.
Show the results
When someone asks for proof, you’ve already got it. Reports show who’s trained, where the gaps are, and how it all lines up with OWASP.
“The hands-on approach of these courses is everything I’ve been looking for. It means I can skip the boring fluff and get to the meat of the topic right away, saving me so much time and boredom.”

“My team really enjoyed the challenges in this collection. Most training solutions don’t really go beyond the basic stuff, and even then, they tend to hold your hand. But these challenges meant we actually had to solve these problems ourselves.”

Create a Community
Champions connect across teams through shared updates, discussions, and security alerts that keep learning alive.
Reward Responsibility
Levels, badges, and recognition make progress visible and effort meaningful.
Invest in Your Champions
Dedicated paths and curated content help champions grow their skills where they matter most.
Anticipate Change
Easy reassignment and team-level continuity ensure programs stay stable when people move or roles shift.
Start with a Clear Vision
Pre-built frameworks and structure give each program a clear starting point and measurable goals.
