Why Automated Security Champions Could Be the Inflection Point DevSecOps Needed
- The DevSecOps movement has emphasized embedding security throughout the software development lifecycle for over a decade.
- Security champions, developers embedded within teams with a focus on security, have been seen as crucial but challenging to implement.
- Arnica has introduced 'Security Champions with Arnica' to automate the identification of security champions based on their behavior.
- Traditional methods of building security champions programs often lack scalability and struggle to show measurable impact.
- Arnica's approach shifts from manual nominations to behavior-based discovery, making the process objective and repeatable.
- This automation helps identify developers demonstrating secure behavior and engages them through existing tools like GitHub and Slack.
- The system creates a lightweight security mesh within engineering teams, distributing ownership of security effectively.
- Arnica ensures security champions handle issues within their codebases, making informed decisions and escalating when necessary.
- Developers benefit from Arnica's system without needing to use a separate UI, as all security-related actions happen in familiar tools.
- The platform also aids in career development by providing visibility to developers who actively engage in security tasks.
