Our vision

Setting the direction for secure software in an AI-driven world

Software development has changed. Code is no longer written only by developers — it’s generated, suggested, and accelerated by AI tools and agents as part of a new, powerful and too often hidden tech stack. This shift increases speed, but also introduces unacceptable new risks that traditional approaches weren’t built to handle. Secure Code Warrior works with enterprises globally to ensure software remains secure and aligned to organizational standards, no matter how it is created.

2015
Why now

Software development has been transformed by AI. Security must evolve with it.

AI-assisted development increases speed, scale, and complexity. Traditional security programs can’t keep up. A new approach is required. Security leaders must act now to bring AI visibility, accountability, and developer capability into how software is built.

Organizations now face:
Limited visibility into how code is created
Increased volume of changes entering production
Inconsistent secure coding practices
A widening gap between development speed and security
What we do

Secure, high-quality code — every time, no matter the source

Secure Code Warrior reduces risk where it matters most: at the point of code creation. Security becomes part of how software is built, rather than an expensive, time-consuming afterthought.

We do this by:
AI Governance
Strengthening secure coding capability across teams
Enabling developers to work safely with AI-assisted tools
Providing visibility into how code is created and reviewed
Helping organizations measure and improve outcomes over time
Proven at enterprise scale

Secure Code Warrior is trusted by global organizations to improve software security outcomes

Founding

Rethinking software security at the source

Secure Code Warrior is founded in Australia by Pieter Danhieux, Fatemah Beydoun, Colin Wong, and Jaap Karan Singh on a simple belief:

  • Fixing vulnerabilities after code is written doesn’t scale.

From day one, the focus was clear: Improve how developers write code to reduce risk at the source.

2017
Sensei Aquisition

Embedding security into developer workflows

After securing four major Australian banks, Secure Code Warrior expands into the US and Europe. The acquisition of Sensei Security, and the addition of founders Matias Madou and Nathan Desmet, mark a turning point. Security moves beyond training into hands-on, in-workflow learning embedded directly in how code is written.

2018–2019
Series A & B + Tier 1 customers

Enterprise adoption validates the model

With Series A and B funding, Secure Code Warrior scales globally across industries.

  • Developer-driven security can scale, delivering measurable impact.
2020–2022
Series C + acquisition + ecosystem expansion

From training to Benchmark your security program

Secure Code Warrior raises Series C, acquires Adversary, and grows to 450+ global customers.Partnerships with GitHub, GitLab, Contrast Security, and Synopsys embed the platform across the development ecosystem. Customers achieve consistent reductions in vulnerabilities introduced during development — shifting security from detection to prevention.

2023–2024
Market shift + platform evolution

AI reshapes software development

The rise of ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot transforms how code is created.Software is no longer written solely by developers, it’s generated, assisted, and accelerated by AI. As adoption grows, organizations face reduced visibility, increased velocity, and new classes of risk, driving the need for greater insight into how code is created.

2025
Category shift

The governance gap becomes unavoidable

At scale, organizations can no longer answer critical questions:

  • Who - or what - is writing code?
  • Does it meet security standards?
  • Are developers equipped to evaluate it?

Traditional approaches can’t keep up. A new challenge emerges: governing software development in an AI-driven world.

2026
Product innovation — Trust Agent:AI

Defining the next standard for secure software

Secure Code Warrior introduces Trust Agent:AI, extending the platform to bring visibility and accountability into AI-driven development. Organizations can now understand how code is created, align development to risk thresholds, and strengthen developer capability in real time.
