Secure Software Is Built on Human Decisions
AI has changed how software is built. It accelerates development, expands creative possibilities, and elevates what any developer can achieve.
But speed does not equal security. AI can generate code and scale output. It cannot own responsibility or understand context, intent, or tradeoffs.
Every vulnerability traces back to a decision. What to trust. What to ship. What level of risk is acceptable. Those decisions are human. And in modern software development, developers are the ones making them.
This aligns with our mission: to engage and educate developers through the highest‑quality, most relevant learning that strengthens digital security.
We believe AI empowers developers. It expands their capabilities, accelerates their workflows, and unlocks creativity. But only when used securely. That is why we commit to helping developers harness the power of AI without introducing new risk.
The window to ship now and fix later is gone. Security is no longer about whether flaws are found. It’s about who understands and addresses them first.
Secure Development Requires More Than Training
Software security is not a checklist. It isn’t a once‑a‑year course. And it isn’t solved by tools alone.
Secure development is a discipline. It requires judgment, context, and continuous learning as threats, workflows, and now AI-driven coding practices evolve.
Our vision is to lead the global transformation in secure coding and development by making security the default mindset. We recognizes that secure development becomes real only when developers think securely by default, not reactively.
AI will be a core part of every developer’s toolkit. Secure development must now include understanding how AI assists, understanding where AI introduces risk and knowing how to apply secure judgment at the point of decision.
We are the bridge between developers, the power of AI, and secure development.
We meet developers where they are. We respect their experience, languages, tools and workflows. We support them with education that evolves as rapidly as AI itself.
When security becomes part of how developers think and how AI is used, organizations become more resilient.
Developers Are the Foundation of Secure Software
Too often, developers are treated as the source of security risk. They’re blamed for vulnerabilities, burdened with process, and expected to keep pace with a rapidly changing threat landscape without the support to do so well.
That approach doesn’t scale.
Secure software is built by developers who are confident in their skills, trusted in their judgment, and supported by a culture that values learning over blame.
This embodies who we are: a learner‑first organization focused on empowering developers to meet real‑world security challenges.
And in an AI-driven future, developers must be empowered even more—to guide AI, validate its output, and ensure that speed does not compromise security.
When developers are empowered and AI is used responsibly, security improves. When security improves, teams move faster, with fewer surprises and less rework. And when teams move fast with confidence, innovation thrives.
Software Security Is a Shared Responsibility—Led by Developers
Secure development doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens through collaboration, shared ownership, and communities that reinforce good security practices over time.
Our vision imagines a future where developers everywhere build a more secure digital world—leveraging AI responsibly, understanding its risks, and using it as a multiplier for secure outcomes.
That future can only be achieved when organizations invest in developers, elevate their expertise, empower them to guide and govern how AI is used, and create cultures where security is a shared mission.
Security champions don’t emerge through mandates—they emerge through enablement, trust, and real-world application.
When developers are empowered to lead, security becomes scalable.
Our Commitment
We believe secure software is built by empowered developers.
We believe AI can amplify developer capability, and that secure AI practices are a non-negotiable part of modern software development We believe security education must be continuous and relevant and rooted in real‑world code, real‑world threats, real‑world responsibility, and now real‑world AI workflows.
We believe in a developer‑first future where both humans and AI contribute to a more secure digital world.
This is our manifesto.
