Welcome to the Elephant in AppSec, the podcast to explore, challenge, and boldly face the AppSec Elephants in the room.
Today, I’m thrilled to welcome Magdalena Modric to the show! Magdalena is an AppSec Program Strategist at Secure Code Warrior, where she’s been empowering developers in the German-speaking market to build secure applications since 2018.
Beyond her professional expertise, Magdalena is also a talented violinist—a wonderful reminder of how many AppSec professionals channel their passion into music and creativity outside of work.
In this episode, Magdalena and I dive into the critical role of Security Champion programs in scaling security efforts effectively. We explore why metrics should focus on business outcomes rather than just training participation, and whether cultural factors are the secret ingredient to successful security practices.
And much more! If you’re interested in specific stories of companies that introduced security champion programs and scaled them, this episode is for you.
Dive right in!
