10,000+ Secure Code Learning Activities: A Decade of Developer Risk Management
At Secure Code Warrior, we’re on a mission to change the way the world builds software, one secure line of code at a time. Join us in celebrating a major milestone:
10,000+ Secure Code Learning Activities — and Counting!
These 10,000+ secure code learning activities represent more than just a number, they reflect real impact across thousands of global teams embedding security into their everyday workflows. We are proud to have helped so many companies improve code quality, accelerate time to market, and reduce vulnerabilities. And we’re just getting started. We’re continuing to expand our learning pathways to help developers reduce vulnerabilities and confidently navigate AI-assisted development. Congratulations and thank you to all who have helped us reach this major milestone!
Here’s to the next 10,000. Thanks for being part of the journey.

AI Coding Assistants: A Guide to Security-Safe Navigation for the Next Generation of Developers
Large language models deliver irresistible advantages in speed and productivity, but they also introduce undeniable risks to the enterprise. Traditional security guardrails aren’t enough to control the deluge. Developers require precise, verified security skills to identify and prevent security flaws at the outset of the software development lifecycle.
Secure by Design: Defining Best Practices, Enabling Developers and Benchmarking Preventative Security Outcomes
In this research paper, Secure Code Warrior co-founders, Pieter Danhieux and Dr. Matias Madou, Ph.D., along with expert contributors, Chris Inglis, Former US National Cyber Director (now Strategic Advisor to Paladin Capital Group), and Devin Lynch, Senior Director, Paladin Global Institute, will reveal key findings from over twenty in-depth interviews with enterprise security leaders including CISOs, a VP of Application Security, and software security professionals.

Setting the Standard: SCW Releases Free AI Coding Security Rules on GitHub
AI-assisted development is no longer on the horizon — it’s here, and it’s rapidly reshaping how software is written. Tools like GitHub Copilot, Cline, Roo, Cursor, Aider, and Windsurf are transforming developers into co-pilots of their own, enabling faster iteration and accelerating everything from prototyping to major refactoring projects.
Close the Loop on Vulnerabilities with Secure Code Warrior + HackerOne
Secure Code Warrior is excited to announce our new integration with HackerOne, a leader in offensive security solutions. Together, we're building a powerful, integrated ecosystem. HackerOne pinpoints where vulnerabilities are actually happening in real-world environments, exposing the "what" and "where" of security issues.
Revealed: How the Cyber Industry Defines Secure by Design
In our latest white paper, our Co-Founders, Pieter Danhieux and Dr. Matias Madou, Ph.D., sat down with over twenty enterprise security leaders, including CISOs, AppSec leaders and security professionals, to figure out the key pieces of this puzzle and uncover the reality behind the Secure by Design movement. It’s a shared ambition across the security teams, but no shared playbook.
