Through Katilyst’s platform, we will incentivize and reward champions for their achievements within the CMD+CTRL ecosystem, building a continuous learning cycle that’s driven by real rewards. Our partnership will allow teams to track results from CMD+CTRL’s training, awarding credit and celebrating champions who invest in improving their security skills. At the end of the day, this partnership delivers on one goal: building a more secure development culture by equipping teams with the skills they need while motivating them to keep growing through meaningful rewards.
