HackEDU Coding

A secure development training that helps reduce the number of vulnerabilities and errors in code

Empower developer teams to solve security issues without external support, improving the code quality and reducing the time to ship secure code

  • Benchmark developers’ understanding of secure coding best practices and their ability to implement them
  • Uncover gaps in developers' secure coding skills based on the time they spend working on a lesson — and the amount of help they needed to complete it
  • Review developers’ patches to evaluate their approach to fixing vulnerabilities

  • Have more informed conversations during code reviews

  • Identify secure development champions that go above and beyond to kick off internal secure coding initiatives

Secure Development Female Code

Short, practical lessons in a live sandbox

HackEDU training modules provide enough information for developers to get started right away, without giving them the answers

  • Browser-based training with no additional setup All your developers need to do is log in. No need for proxy or VPN setup, or creating virtual environments. 
  • Each lesson available in multiple programming languages Offensive and defensive assignments in lessons need to be completed by actually coding — in one or several programming languages, as necessary for your organization.
  • Guided lesson flow for better retention Lessons start with a high-level vulnerability overview and are followed by a practical section where developers need to exploit the vulnerability and then patch the code.
  • In-app hints and live chat support
    Junior team members can use in-app hints to find a working solution, or reach out to HackEDU experts via live chat to get additional support.
Secure Development Reporting

Admin dashboard that ticks all the boxes for easy setup and reporting

Easily onboard developers and manage their accounts. Track lesson completion rates and proficiency levels for each developer. Identify teams that are behind on adoption.

  • Easy learning path setup Use default training programs or combine available lessons to set up learning paths for onboarding, yearly refresher courses, or topics aligned with your secure development goals.
  • Dashboard reports From a list of learners that have completed specific challenges to a list of lessons completed by a specific developer with a proficiency level for each, Admin Dashboard has the most popular report formats set up for one-click access.
  • CSV record export Select specific learners and lessons to export full data and customize your reports based on more advanced criteria.
  • LMS integrations Leverage openAPI to integrate the HackEDU admin dashboard with your LMS for easy tracking.

Help Developers Progress From “Aware of Best Practices” to Better Application Security

The HackEDU platform was designed to bridge the gap between understanding the importance of secure coding and actually improving the organization’s security posture

Live coding assignments

Live coding assignments in web-based sandbox

Developers work on exploiting and fixing specific vulnerabilities in a live sandbox. Coding patches helps them acquire new skills.
Offensive and defensive tasks

Offensive and defensive tasks in each lesson

Understanding how vulnerabilities are exploited improves developers’ ability to spot errors in their own code and eliminate them.
Immediate, targeted feedback

Immediate, targeted feedback

Developers can’t complete a lesson until they write a patch that works. This helps them better retain new skills and apply secure development practices in their day-to-day work.
