Most of us are familiar with Security Champions programs and how they can help bridge the gap between the developers and security teams.
Ideally with a Security Champions program is in place the development team can ensure the Secure Development LifeCycle is effective, but what about in practice?

This talk seeks to identify problems with existing Security Champions programs and suggests a new paradigm: Distributed Security Champions.
