<aside> 💡 In an effort to work closely with our teammates and shift security focus more into the development process, we are pleased to introduce the Security Ambassador program which will align each one of our security engineers with an engineering organization.

</aside>

What does this mean?

• The main responsibility of the ambassador is to ensure the Security team is aware of your organization’s work.
• The ambassador assigned to your organization will become familiar with your team’s work.
• The ambassador will help you integrate security thought-processes into your workflow.
• The ambassador will become your primary point of contact regarding any security concerns that may arise in your development process.
• The ambassador will be available to join any planning, testing and implementation meetings where their input might be beneficial.

Why?

• This will allow you to get quicker responses to your security questions and concerns from someone who has a deeper understanding of your team’s work.
• This will allow us to produce a more secure product by integrating security into the early stages of product development.

Does this mean I can’t talk to anyone else on the security team?

• Absolutely not. You are welcome to reach out to anyone in the security team at anytime. We encourage everyone to use the #discuss-security slack channel.
