Discover tailored security training

Empower your team with expert-led courses

Our programs are crafted to boost secure coding skills and ensure compliance, offering flexible delivery options to suit your needs.

How do we get started?

We begin with a discovery call to learn your team's needs, such as reducing vulnerabilities or meeting compliance requirements. Then we build a custom plan with relevant modules, hands-on labs, and delivery formats that fit your workflow.

What's the time commitment for our developers?

Training ranges from 2-hour focused sessions to 2-day intensive workshops. We work with you to structure learning that minimizes disruption to development cycles and fits your sprint schedules.

How do you handle different skill levels on our team?

We assess current knowledge during discovery and create learning paths for beginners through advanced practitioners. Mixed-level teams get differentiated content within the same program.

What topics do you cover?

We focus on practical developer security: secure coding practices, vulnerability prevention, threat modeling, API security, cloud security, and AI security (securing AI systems, using AI for security, and AI-assisted development). Content is tailored to your tech stack and real development challenges.

How long does implementation take?

Most programs launch within 2-3 weeks after our discovery call. We'll provide a clear timeline during planning so you can communicate rollout to your team.

What ongoing support do you provide?

Beyond initial training, we offer refresher sessions, updated content for emerging threats, and consultation on security questions that arise during your development work.
