Mark McMillan has been building and leading Information Security Champions programs for over five years and has spent nearly a decade shaping cybersecurity culture at Rocket. He's passionate about creating programs that empower, not punish, and help people understand their role in keeping data secure.
In this episode of The Security Champions Podcast, Mark shares his journey into the field and what he has learned about fostering engaging and supportive security programs. He contrasts the outdated “stick” approach with a more empowering “carrot” method that fosters trust, ownership, and lasting behavior change. He breaks down how Champions Programs act as powerful networks of internal advocates, strategies for scaling and sustaining them over time, and the importance of continuous improvement and community support.
