Developer Insights
Gain Deeper Insight into Your Development Team
Real security improvement requires visibility into both code risk and developer capability. By pairing live risk signals with developer profiles and assessments, organizations can prioritize training that measurably reduces risk—without slowing engineering teams.
Developer Profile
Train developers based on who they are and what they build.
Use developer context to move beyond generic training and align learning with real-world development environments.
Developer Profiles help you account for:
- Experience and background
- Languages, frameworks, and platforms
- Responsibilities, tools, and security exposure
This ensures training is practical, targeted, and applied where it matters.
Developer Security Knowledge Assessments
Understand what developers know and where training is needed.
Establish a clear baseline of security knowledge across your development team, from foundational risks to advanced attack techniques and emerging areas like AI/LLM security. Assessments provide objective insight into strengths, gaps, and progress, so training decisions are based on evidence rather than assumptions.
Developer Security Knowledge Assessments help you:
- Establish a security knowledge baseline and identify gaps across individuals and teams across multiple topic areas
- Measure progress over time to understand where training is making an impact with individual scores, proficiency levels, team-level dashboards, and exportable data to track progress and guide training decisions.
- Streamline the learning experience by allowing developers to test out of content they already know
This insight helps ensure training is focused, relevant, and aligned with real needs.
Assess Knowledge Across Four Key Areas
Secure Coding
-
Assesses the ability to identify and mitigate code vulnerabilities through questions targeting specific issues from the OWASP Top 10 and CWE Top 25 across different programming languages.
- Topics Assessed:
- CWE Top 25
- OWASP Top 10
- There are three types of interactive coding questions in Secure Coding Assessments:
- Identify the line of code that will secure the vulnerable line
- Identify the block of code that creates a vulnerability'
- Identify which line of code makes the code vulnerable
Secure Development
- Assesses knowledge of secure practices across DevSecOps, the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL), and Threat Modeling, evaluating the ability to integrate security throughout the software development process.
- Focuses on:
- DevSecOps
- Secure Development Lifecycle
- Threat Modeling
Core Security Concepts
- Assess the learner's knowledge of security terminology, foundational topics like data privacy, and the importance of a security-focused organizational culture.
- Topics Assessed:
- Basic Terms
- Fundamental Security Topics
- Organizational Security Culture
AI Assessment
Assess the learner's knowledge of foundational concepts and advanced attack vectors in contemporary AI/LLM security.
- AI & Secure Coding
- Risks & Vulnerabilities
- Governance & Responsible Use
- Developer Readiness
GitHub Integration
Use real code activity to drive targeted training.
Connect Security Journey to your GitHub repositories to understand where security weaknesses are being introduced in real code. By analyzing live commit activity by CWE, you can move beyond assumptions and align training with the risks developers are actually creating.
Connect training to real code risk
Analyze GitHub commit activity by CWE to identify the security weaknesses being introduced across repositories and teams.
Prioritize what matters most
Surface a consolidated, evidence-based view of emerging vulnerabilities so attention stays focused on the highest-impact risks.
Assign targeted training in minutes
Map CWE findings directly to Security Journey lessons, delivering timely, relevant skill reinforcement without disrupting developer workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the GitHub Integration do?
Integrates with customers’ existing scanning tools to ingest CWE codes.
How does Security Journey detect issues?
Security Journey consumes reports via GitHub that the company’s existing SAST scanning tool produces.
What kind of training does the integration trigger?
Admins can assign Security Journey modules mapped directly to the CWE through Security Journey’s CWE filtering, enabling right-topic, right-moment learning.
Does the integration disrupt developer workflows?
No. Findings appear in the platform for admin review, without PR spam or mid-flow interruptions to the developer.
What data does the GitHub integration review?
It analyzes commit metadata and vulnerability-related CWE patterns; it does not require raw source code to be sent to Security Journey.
How does GitHub integration support training relevance?
It continuously trains developers on CWEs actively being committed, ensuring training aligns with observed behaviors, not generic assumptions.
What is required to connect GitHub?
The connection requires generation of a Security Journey API key configured as a repository secret.
Does GitHub integration work with existing developer learning paths?
Yes. While the GitHub integration does not currently recommend training automatically, it adds CWE findings to the platform, allowing admins to use that information when assigning training within existing role-based, compliance-based, or topic-based learning paths.
How does the integration help admins prioritize?
The platform consolidates all CWE occurrences across repositories, giving admins a prioritized view of emerging weaknesses and where to focus training.
Is assignment creation automated?
Today, assignment mapping is performed by admins; automation is planned for future phases.
What problems does GitHub integration solve for organizations?
The GitHub integration helps organizations identify which developers introduced specific CWE findings. It centralizes these CWE occurrences in the Security Journey platform. It provides clearer visibility into weaknesses and what needs reinforcement.
How does GitHub integration relate to broader secure development practices?
GitHub serves as a central collaboration and version control platform; combining it with Security Journey’s CWE intelligence elevates code security by catching issues as they emerge.
