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
The HackEDU platform
Everything You Need For a Continuous Training Program
That IMPROVES Application Security
From training plans you can launch immediately to incentives that drive engagement.
From automated communications to training content optimized for retention.

Training Content
Help developers learn how to create applications that are resilient against cyber attacks.

Training Automation
The easiest way to create and manage learning plans. Without wasting you and your team’s time.


Engaging and practical for dev teams.
Easy to manage and implement for security teams.
Empower your teams to build a secure development culture.

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.

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.

Gamification options to improve engagement
Keeping the same level of motivation over time can be hard. Challenges and CTF events help make learning more exciting.
-
Challenges for dev teams Offensive and defensive Capture the Flag challenges with escalating difficulty
-
Gift cards and rewards An option to add incentives to boost developers’ motivation or recognize achievements.
-
Private tournaments Run custom private CTF events and tournaments with automated team management and scoring as an add-on to your HackEDU subscription.
-
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.
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
