S2E2 - Dustin Lehr
In Season 2 Episode 2, we interview Dustin Lehr, Co-Founder, Chief Product & Technology Officer at Katilyst.
We discuss the significance of security champions in application security. We explore the cultural aspects of implementing security champions programs, the challenges of maintaining engagement, and the importance of leadership support. The conversation delves into measuring the success of these programs, the role of behavioral science, and the impact of effective training and gamification in enhancing security awareness within organizations. Dustin discusses the Octalysis framework, which identifies eight core human motivators that can be leveraged in gamification and cybersecurity culture. He emphasizes the importance of building relationships within organizations to change perceptions of security teams and foster a collaborative environment. Dustin also shares insights on the intersection of creativity and cybersecurity, his motivations for starting a company, and the role of AI in enhancing human interactions rather than replacing them.
