True Positives is excited to announce our strategic partnership with Katilyst, a leader in fostering security-driven cultures through robust support for security champion programs. As domain experts, we believe this strategy holds unmatched potential to elevate product security across entire organizations, more effectively than any single tool, tactic, or expert.
Through the influential online group [*Let’s Talk Software Security*](https://www.meetup.com/lets-talk-software-security/), we discovered Katilyst and connected with its founders, Stanley Harris and Dustin Leher, the group’s Organizer. From the outset, we were impressed by this veteran duo, particularly their insightful belief that enhancing security posture begins with prioritizing the human element—a principle that resonates deeply with our own experience and one we strongly endorse.
Katilyst offers tools and strategies that produce the right motivation and engagement to build a successful security champion program. They do this through a proven process to learn about the product development team's culture and tooling which helps measure the engagement of the software security tools.
Want to learn more? We invite you to visit their website or reach out to Stanley Harris for a consultation!
