Our team at Security Journey is excited to announce that HackEDU hands-on lessons for secure coding training are now available within our AppSec Education Platform. This unification is a result of the 2022 HackEDU acquisition of Security Journey, and now all lessons are available in a single secure coding education platform.
A fully integrated and robust AppSec Education Platform is needed at this time to reduce software security flaws and upskill the workforce to combat the 59% increase in critical vulnerabilities indicated by CVEs data.
“Reducing vulnerabilities and educating development teams on how to code securely is crucial for any organization that considers protecting data as business critical.” Says Joe Ferrara, CEO at Security Journey. “We’re now seeing an increased demand as companies are using secure coding training as a way to show conformity with secure software development practices, as stated in the recent White House Executive Order. We’re therefore committed to regularly adding to and refreshing our training platform to boost secure habits, build a security-first mindset and invest in developer upskilling to security champions. We’re thrilled to continue our innovation and to enable teams to manage their continuous training program from a singular platform with diverse training modalities.”
Security Journey’s AppSec education approach has proven effectiveness, with learners reporting knowledge gain up to 85% and 93% of developers learning to find and fix SQL injection in less than 10 mins of training.
Expanded AppSec Training Content Now Available
In 2022, the experts at Security Journey added or refreshed over 200 lessons, along with the addition of over 280 HackEDU Hands-On lessons for secure coding training bringing the total lesson count to nearly 700.

- Code Fix Exercises – focus on specific elements of code languages with static code
- Podcast-Style Training Videos – listen, watch, and read a summary while security experts explain fundamental concepts to support those that need to begin with a basic AppSec understanding
