What a Security Champion Does Beyond the Team
If you are interested in raising the security culture beyond the team, get involved! At Bouvet, we hold regular gatherings - Bouvet ONE - where we host talks on everything under the sun, often with dedicated security tracks. We have also held specific Bouvet ONE events dedicated to security. Here, everyone is free to contribute - all talks are appreciated, no matter how simple you might think your topic is.
