“

Before adopting Security Journey, I asked some of our developers as well as our Head of Security to evaluate the quality of the lessons.  

Feedback from these stakeholders gave me confidence that Security Journey's training provides learning that will tangibly improve security knowledge and skills on our team - as opposed to just ticking a box.
