Actionable insights that measure your secure code learning efforts 

Maximizing the value of your secure code learning program relies heavily on your users’ engagement. The world of cybersecurity is a constantly evolving landscape with new threats as well as opportunities to strengthen your overall security posture. Taking a proactive approach to your code’s security requires ongoing secure code learning to maximize the efficacy and relevance of the program. To do that, program leaders need to have a clear understanding of user engagement not just at a single point in time, but over extended periods to identify trends and optimize the program's performance.

That’s why we are excited to announce a new report designed to measure your users’ engagement that makes it easy to spot key trends and identify when to take action within your organization. With these new insights organizations can not only do more to maximize their return on investment in secure code learning but also make lasting improvements to their cybersecurity posture.

What’s New In This Report?

The Engagement Insights report presents a number of key statistics relevant to your agile learning program, over your selected time period (by default, the past 12 months), all of which is also accessible via the Reporting API. The Engagement Report provides a quick and easy view into the number of New learners who have been actively engaged with the SCW agile learning platform during this time period, Active learners who engaged with the platform, and current number of Enabled learners.

‍

‍

These totals are only the start. You can break down how your learners have been engaging with the platform, discoverings trends of Active learners over the time period selected. With this information you can plan communications (internal newsletters, blogs) or other engagement activities to keep developers coming back to hone their skills.

‍

Similarly, the Last learning activity breakdown shows how recently your learners have last engaged with the SCW platform. Like any form of learning, recollection of concepts fade over time. The ideal state is to have the bulk of your learners grouped in the first couple of brackets denoting recent engagement. This sort of grouping not only keeps developers’ skills fresh, and improves your organization’s SCW Trust Score by avoiding time bound skill fade in the aggregate.

‍

‍

And the insights go beyond frequency and recency. You can dive deep into how users are engaging in secure code learning activities.The Engagement Report delivers a breakdown of the amount of time learners have spent across the different parts of the Secure Code Warrior platform throughout the time period selected. Admins can use this information to identify what drives engagement amongst the user base. Has it been a while since you last ran an SCW tournament, could there be an opportunity to re-engage a portion of your developer cohort? Are learners using the Explore module to broaden their horizons outside of the structured learning content in Courses or Assessments? Identifying high engagement types as well as top level users offers opportunities to design programs developers will love and celebrate your active leaders.

‍

As you can see, there are many ways to measure your learners’ engagement with your agile learning program. We remain dedicated to providing further insights and reports to drive the most effective learning outcomes and improvements in your organization’s cybersecurity posture. Stay tuned for the next new insights to come, and please let us know if you have questions, feedback, or specific data you’d like to see more of to help optimize your program!
