Security awareness training alone is no longer enough. Organizations need embedded accountability, local ownership, and cultural reinforcement to reduce human cyber risk at scale.
Building a Security Champions Program is a practical, executive-ready guide for designing, launching, and sustaining a security champions initiative that actually works. Written for IT and security leaders, this book explains how to identify the right champions, define clear responsibilities, integrate the program with business operations, and measure real impact beyond training completion rates.
Rather than theoretical frameworks, this guide focuses on execution: governance models, incentive structures, communication strategies, and common failure points that derail well-intentioned programs. It is specifically designed for organizations operating in complex, regulated, or fast-moving environments.
This book is part of The CyberInsider Executive Series, a collection focused on translating cybersecurity risk, governance, and compliance into actionable leadership practices.
