Secure Coding Training Implementation Case Study

This case study details the implementation of a secure coding training program by a leading marketing automation company. The objective was to enhance their developers' skills in secure coding through a comprehensive training approach that included both offensive and defensive lessons. The company recognized the need for a hands-on training solution that would engage developers and improve their coding practices. They partnered with Security Journey to develop a program that featured an extensive content library, interactive lessons, and Capture-the-Flag (CTF) events. The training was structured to fit within the developers' limited time, with lessons designed to be completed in 20-30 minutes. The program emphasized the importance of understanding both the 'how' and 'why' of secure coding, fostering a culture of security awareness among developers. The case study outlines the successful outcomes of the training, including increased engagement and knowledge retention, and plans for future training enhancements.
