This session highlights our 6-year journey of building and sustaining a Security Community of Practice (CoP) from the ground up. We shifted from a project-centric organization with detailed, mandatory quality gates to an Agile model. This challenged us to scale and approach our self-reliant tribes in a new way. We will share which concepts worked and which were scrapped after initial trials.

We evolved from a manual "mail-in your solutions" approach to leveraging platforms like OWASP Juice Shop and OWASP UnCrackable Apps, creating a consistent content source and an engaging game experience for all our Security Champions.
