What topics are covered in developer security training?

We cover OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, secure coding practices, authentication and authorization, cryptography, secure data handling, input validation, output encoding, session management, API security, mobile security (OWASP MSTG), threat modeling, secure design principles, security testing techniques, and code review best practices. Training is customized based on your technology stack and team needs.

How long does developer security training take?

Training duration varies based on curriculum depth and team size. Typical programs range from 2-day intensive workshops to 4-6 week comprehensive programs with hands-on labs. We also offer ongoing training sessions and follow-up workshops to reinforce learning.

Can training be customized for our technology stack?

Absolutely. We customize training content, examples, labs, and scenarios based on your specific technology stack (programming languages, frameworks, cloud platforms), development workflows, and security requirements. This ensures training is relevant and immediately applicable to your team's daily work.

Do you provide certification after training?

Yes, we provide post-training assessments and certification to validate security knowledge and skills. Certification demonstrates completion of training and validates developers' understanding of secure coding practices and security concepts.

Developer Security Training

Q: Do you provide hands-on labs and practical exercises?

Yes, our training includes extensive hands-on labs where developers practice identifying vulnerabilities, writing secure code, performing security testing, and implementing fixes. Labs are designed to simulate real-world scenarios and provide practical experience with security tools and techniques.

About This Service

Our Developer Security Enablement program provides comprehensive, hands-on security education tailored to your development teams—including safe use of AI coding tools. We deliver training based on OWASP Top 10, OWASP ASVS, OWASP MSTG, and secure coding best practices, combining theoretical knowledge with practical labs, real-world scenarios, and interactive exercises. Our training programs are designed to build security awareness, improve secure coding skills, and enable developers to identify and fix security vulnerabilities early in the development lifecycle.

Why it matters

Developers write most vulnerable code; training reduces defect escape at the source
Generic security awareness does not map to daily coding decisions
New hires and AI-assisted workflows need continuous enablement
Compliance programs expect evidence of role-based secure coding training
