Security Journey provides comprehensive, secure coding training to help organizations build a strong security culture within their development teams. With engaging, role-based learning paths and hands-on exercises, Security Journey content equips developers with the knowledge and skills to proactively identify and address security vulnerabilities throughout the software development lifecycle.

“Unfortunately, developing secure code is not currently a requirement for software developers,” said Roger Grimes, data-driven defense evangelist, KnowBe4. “Building software securely would prevent the need for costly and time-consuming patches that can disrupt business operations and complicate application functionality. KnowBe4 fully advocates for secure coding and by partnering with Security Journey, we aim to address human risk management by driving compliance and encouraging a secure development culture within organizations.” 

“We are excited to partner with KnowBe4 to bring our secure coding expertise to their customers, empowering them with essential training to protect their software,” said Dan Newton, CEO, Security Journey. “This collaboration aligns with our mission to provide developers with the tools needed to stay ahead of evolving security challenges.”
