Raising the bar for secure coding: Infusing agile learning into future-ready enterprises
On July 13, we announced the closing of our Series-C funding round, having raised USD $50 million towards the next phase of our mission: helping more pioneering organizations harness the power of their development cohort in thwarting common vulnerabilities.
Our market-leading suite of agile learning tools is built with an unwavering focus on not just elevating the secure coding skills of developers, but also meeting them halfway in terms of how they work, learn, and engage with upskilling opportunities. This funding will ensure the work of our incredible team can continue, with exciting new milestones to achieve on our product roadmap.
With government regulations signaling the need for a seismic shift in security culture for most organizations, what does the future look like for enterprises that start their developer upskilling pathways sooner rather than later?
Staying threat-flexible with agile learning
One of the most famous quotes from the legendary Chinese philosopher, Confucius, is “The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.” In this modern age of technology moving at a breakneck pace - and insidious cyber threats barely a step behind - organizations cannot afford to waste time with static education solutions. It is not unheard of for cybersecurity textbooks to be outdated before they’ve been printed, and rigid classroom-based courses are simply not designed to pivot in order to showcase the best techniques and approaches to security issues as they come to light.
Secure Code Warrior remains a market leader in developer security education, utilizing an agile approach to developer enablement to upskill them into the gold-standard engineers of tomorrow. Our learning platform and developer-first tooling allow us to be far more dynamic, staying in step with current threats and the most efficient fixes for these problems as they arise. If the roots of your education solution are grounding you in one spot, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to “bend in the wind” when upskilling developers, leading to frustration for both the educator and the student, and far less success in vulnerability remediation.
According to Gartner, by 2025, 70% of large enterprises will adopt agile learning approaches. There is immense power in this shift to microlearning, continuous improvement, and building key knowledge that can be leveraged for the most pertinent business goals and security outcomes. However, it requires challenging the status quo. Companies must make a commitment to aligning educational needs as part of daily work tasks, rather than an extra, monolithic addition that seems to elevate stress levels more than skills.
Expanding our capabilities and leadership to deliver best-in-class agile learning
As part of our quest to deliver best-in-class agile learning tools for future-forward enterprise customers, we are proud to announce our recently expanded leadership team. We have named Imperva’s Chief Customer Officer, Nanhi Singh to our board of directors, in addition to appointing Patrick Collins as our new Chief Product and Technology Officer.
Smart enterprises are keenly aware that there is no “one size fits all” approach to cybersecurity-focused, hands-on learning, and seek the ability to offer their development teams multiple learning paths. We enable this to happen every day through our agile learning platform and a constant stream of enhancements and experiences, including our real-time feedback option with Coding Labs, to create the most engaging, expansive learning environments possible. Our Just-in-Time method ensures no time is wasted on irrelevant modules or courses, delivering the right information at the time it is needed most.
This reality wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering commitment of our team members and the continued trust and confidence of our investors. The agile learning opportunities are endless, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Nanhi and Patrick, who will, undoubtedly, provide invaluable contributions in the months ahead.

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.
Benchmarking Security Skills: Streamlining Secure-by-Design in the Enterprise
Finding meaningful data on the success of Secure-by-Design initiatives is notoriously difficult. CISOs are often challenged when attempting to prove the return on investment (ROI) and business value of security program activities at both the people and company levels. Not to mention, it’s particularly difficult for enterprises to gain insights into how their organizations are benchmarked against current industry standards. The President’s National Cybersecurity Strategy challenged stakeholders to “embrace security and resilience by design.” The key to making Secure-by-Design initiatives work is not only giving developers the skills to ensure secure code, but also assuring the regulators that those skills are in place. In this presentation, we share a myriad of qualitative and quantitative data, derived from multiple primary sources, including internal data points collected from over 250,000 developers, data-driven customer insights, and public studies. Leveraging this aggregation of data points, we aim to communicate a vision of the current state of Secure-by-Design initiatives across multiple verticals. The report details why this space is currently underutilized, the significant impact a successful upskilling program can have on cybersecurity risk mitigation, and the potential to eliminate categories of vulnerabilities from a codebase.

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.
Is Vibe Coding Going to Turn Your Codebase Into a Frat Party?
Vibe coding is like a college frat party, and AI is the centerpiece of all the festivities, the keg. It’s a lot of fun to let loose, get creative, and see where your imagination can take you, but after a few keg stands, drinking (or, using AI) in moderation is undoubtedly the safer long-term solution.
