Prerequisites
Secure Code warrior helps enterprises reduce the risks and costs associated with application security by empowering developers to be the first line of defence in their organisation. This is achieved through Assessments, Challenges, Metrics, Tournaments and Courses all within the Secure Code Warrior platform.
Courses:
Courses is a guided learning pathway made with language framework-specific modules that can be configured to level-up secure coding skills across your organisation. Courses can optionally be configured to be finished within a set timeframe or by a specific date to meet compliance and audit requirements. Each learning module is a collection of activities including video content, language framework specific coding challenges and check-point challenges, which build secure coding skills and awareness.
Tournaments:
Tournaments allow you to run engaging events that get your developers involved and interested in secure coding. Players are presented with a series of challenges that will ask them to identify the problem, locate the insecure code, and fix the vulnerability. All challenges are based on real code examples, and are ranked from easy through to fiendishly hard! With Tournaments, kicking off your security awareness program couldn’t be more fun and engaging. It’s also the perfect way to drive awareness and promote your application security program to the rest of your organisation.

We ultimately want you to ship secure code with confidence - and we can help you learn how to do it.
Secure Code Warrior makes it fast and fun for you, and developers like you, to write secure code from the beginning, and to measure and improve your secure coding skills. Our online portal provides the tools and knowledge you need to write secure code from the beginning - making security highly visible and making learning fun with our gamified secure coding challenges.
We’ve designed and built our platform to be fun, competitive and engaging. Whether undertaking hands-on training and assessments, competing in secure coding Tournaments or being aided by a real-time guidance solution, our approach will help you become a recognized first line of defence for your company’s code.
Hone Your Skills
We tap into your natural spirit of competition through game-based secure coding challenges designed to encourage teamwork and make learning more fun. Our gamified platform has leader boards and configurable point systems. Our real-time guidance solution helps you identify and fix secure coding issues in real-time.

Demonstrate Your Expertise
Benchmarking your own results against those of other developers within the same team, company or industry can help you understand and showcase how your skills measure up. You can view your own Secure Code Warrior scorecard to know your key strengths and indicate areas where additional training would be useful. 'Learn-by-doing' activities focus on common software vulnerabilities to enhance your individual secure code development skills.
Learn While You Code
With Secure Code Warrior’s real-time guidance solution, you can write secure code more consistently and faster; learning secure coding while you work. In the same way a spell-checker might assist authors, it helps coders to be aware of, and adhere to, secure coding recipes; instantly highlighting how ‘bad code’ can be turned into ‘good code’ that is secure, and helps you code in a way that is more consistent, faster, and avoids security bugs.
Defend Your Code
85% of exploited vulnerabilities are attributed to just 10 known vulnerabilities – the OWASP Top 10. Secure Code Warrior’s self-paced learning content covers over 50 different vulnerability types including OWASP Top 10. Our hands-on challenges are continuously revised and updated for new coding frameworks and vulnerability types. View full list of supported languages and vulnerabilities.
