Secure Development Training That Empowers Software Engineers to Write Better, More Secure Code
A secure coding training platform where developers learn by actually exploiting and then fixing vulnerabilities in a web-based sandbox.
Secure Coding Requires Practice.
The HackEDU Platform Provides it.
- Developers learn to apply patches in a live sandbox hosted in a web browser To complete a lesson, developers must find a working fix for a specific vulnerability. If their code doesn’t work, they get immediate, targeted feedback, which teaches them how to apply what they learn as they code.
-
Developers complete both offensive and defensive coding assignments
Including offensive coding assignments in the training brings home the point that vulnerabilities can be very easy to overlook.
Learning to see code errors and vulnerabilities improves security awareness — and developers’ secure coding skills. -
Developers continuously improve their secure coding skills with feedback loops
In addition to in-app feedback, SAST/DAST integrations make it possible to understand which vulnerabilities exist in your organization's applications. Adaptive Training Plans are developed automatically based on that data to help developers close their secure coding skills gaps with highly relevant, targeted training materials.
Coding tasks in lessons for better retention
Developers can apply their learning right away in application sandboxes that are embedded within lessons.

81% of Vulnerabilities Found & Fixed Correctly
(Up from just 14%)
“Before the training, the developers averaged a total score of 19% and found & fixed an average of just 14% of the vulnerabilities. 58% of developers were unable to successfully find & fix just one vulnerability.
After the training and approximately 9 months after the initial assessment the developers were given another assessment. This time the average score was 85%, up from just 19%, and the developers found 81% of the vulnerabilities.”
Common Vulnerabilities Covered in 20 Minute Lessons
HackEDU lessons cover the most common vulnerabilities, from OWASP Top 10 to API Security. For senior developers, there are advanced lessons based on real-world threats and sandboxes with public vulnerabilities, like Drupalgeddon, and ZipSlip.
Top Topics Available:
SQL Injection
NoSQL Injection
Command Injection
Remote Code Execution
Weak Session Management
Authentication Rate Limits
XSS
Broken Authentication Session and Session Management

and more...
Language-Specific Coding Assignments For Each Lesson
Developers complete a lesson by fixing a vulnerability in their preferred language (or languages), so that they can learn to apply secure coding best practices and ship code with fewer errors.
