Citizen AI by Secure Code Warrior: Build an AI-Ready Workforce

July 7, 2026
Shannon Holt

Introducing Citizen AI by Secure Code Warrior—the AI literacy program for the workforce that builds with AI, not just the developers who deploy it.

AI is changing how work gets done across every part of the organization—not just within software development. Employees across marketing, finance, HR, operations, customer support, and countless other teams are using AI to create content, automate workflows, analyze information, and support business decisions.

As adoption accelerates, organizations face a new challenge: ensuring employees can use AI productively, responsibly, and securely.

That's why we built Citizen AI: a new AI literacy program designed specifically for non-developer employees who use AI in advanced, high-impact ways. It helps people build the judgment, risk awareness, and responsible AI habits needed to use AI confidently at work.

See Citizen AI in action


Citizen AI begins with Automating with AI, a learning collection built specifically for business users. Instead of teaching AI theory, it focuses on the situations employees are already encountering as AI becomes part of everyday work, from building AI-powered automations and troubleshooting workflows to recognizing common AI risks and understanding identity, credentials, and access.

The collection combines short videos, practical guidelines, and an interactive walkthrough to help employees build the confidence and judgment to use AI responsibly in their day-to-day work.

Our vision for responsible AI adoption

While the technology is evolving rapidly, our mission remains the same: helping organizations build secure code by design and default. We believe the organizations that succeed with AI will be those that invest in both capability and accountability, and we're committed to helping organizations achieve both.

Our investment spans three key areas:

  • Citizen AI helps employees across the business understand how to use AI safely, recognize risks, and make better decisions when working with AI tools.
  • AI Security Learning equips developers with the skills to use agentic coding tools securely, review AI-generated code, and build AI-powered applications at any stage of their AI adoption journey.
  • AI Usage Monitoring provides visibility into how AI tools and MCPs are being used across the SDLC, helping organizations better understand adoption, identify potential risks, and take informed action.

Citizen AI is an important part of that vision, extending practical AI literacy beyond engineering to help prepare the broader workforce for the responsible adoption of AI.
