Four years ago, Norsk helsenett (NHN) decided to embark on a bold journey, transforming how we approach cybersecurity within our organization. Recognizing that the traditional security model, which positions security teams as “gatekeepers” – was no longer effective, we initiated a fundamental shift. Our mission was to move beyond the gatekeeper mentality and towards a collaborative, integrated approach with the launch of our Security Champions program.

Join us for an insightful talk that chronicles NHN’s transition and the profound impact it has had on our company’s security culture. We will share the details of our experience in building a community-driven security initiative that has empowered and educated our developers to prioritize secure coding practices and has dismantled the barriers once standing between various security-related roles.
