This is how both HackEDU and Security Journey came to be.

Great things happen when industry professionals identify a need and leverage their expertise to craft a solution.

In the past, HackEDU and Security Journey provided solutions that helped software development teams create safer and less vulnerable applications, which resulted in organizations enjoying greater success in a secure environment.

Industry leaders recognized the success of both companies and saw an opportunity to create an even stronger application security solution for companies of all sizes. In the spring of 2022, HackEDU acquired Security Journey and rebranded the company with the Security Journey name.

Today, Security Journey provides robust application security education tools to help developers and the entire SDLC team recognize, understand, and proactively mitigate vulnerabilities and threats. Our programs go beyond coding securely and, instead, turn everyone in the SDLC into security champions.

By developing a security-first mindset, organizations can deliver safer, more secure applications - a dream that our company founders originally envisioned.

We are proud to deliver this reality to customers worldwide every day.
