AppSecEngineer

What do you like best about the product?

As an experienced GRC professional transitioning into a more hands-on DevSecOps position, I needed to quickly get up to speed in order to contribute to cloud and application security enhancements. I initially turned to AppSecEngineer to study OWASP topics, but soon realized that this only begins to reveal the platform’s full capabilities. The platform makes it easy for users to select role-based learning paths that cover practical toolsets, ranging from secure coding and cloud security to containers, as well as various security applications and testing techniques. The support team is very responsive and resolves issues quickly. Through AppSecEngineer, which I use very frequently, I was able to leverage some open-source security tools within my organization, which helped strengthen our overall security posture.

What do you dislike about the product?

The course catalog includes a wide range of toolsets. As an engineer who often needs to get acquainted with new tools & topics, I find that adding tags to the learning videos would make it much easier to locate related content in one place.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

In the current landscape of cloud-native applications, security training needs to address not just code, but also cloud environments and containers. AppSecEngineer helps developers and application security engineers incorporate security into their work, starting from the design stage and continuing through to post-deployment.

What do you like best about the product?

I really appreciate the hands-on labs that provide real environments to practice security skills. The course content is consistently updated, covering relevant topics like DevSecOps and AI security. The intuitive dashboard, progress badges, and structured learning paths help keep me motivated and on track.

What do you dislike about the product?

The sheer number of courses and labs can be overwhelming for beginners, making it hard to know where to start. Some advanced labs lack guided walkthroughs, which can leave me stuck on complex problems. Community interaction is limited, and more peer support or mentoring would be helpful.

Training my developer team for product code security

What do you like best about the product?

The courses offered by AppSecEngineer are the best way to explore the topics with practical approach, the courses are focused on handling real world challenges with a structured and practical approach. I especially like their Security Architect course and Devsecops, which covers all the major pain points faced by an organisation and prepares the learner to be ready to face challenges in real world. The courses are so well crafted to nurture all the essential to advanced skills necessary, with AppSecEngineer courses you not only learn you apply concepts practically which rewires how you think and solve a problem.

What do you dislike about the product?

I don't have much of dislikes, it's all good

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

In new to a security architect role and their course helped me solve real world problems faced by organisations, the best part is that it's also focussed on latest cloud security challenges

What do you like best about the product?

Real hands-on labs - Finally, a course where you actually hack and fix vulnerabilities instead of just reading about them. The interactive environments are solid and you learn by doing.

Practical, current content - Covers everything from OWASP Top 10 to DevSecOps. I've been applying what I learned directly to my job. The instructors clearly have real-world experience and share actual war stories.

Logical progression - Builds from basics to advanced topics naturally. Even complex concepts click because of how they structure the learning path.

What do you dislike about the product?

Limited community - Pretty isolated experience. Would love more ways to connect with other learners or get help when stuck.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

My Problem: Most security training is scattered, theoretical, and doesn't prepare you for actual AppSec jobs.
What AppSecEngineer Fixed:
One platform with actual hands-on labs where I break and fix real vulnerabilities. No more hunting across 20 different sites for decent content.

How It's Helping Me:
Real skills, not just theory - I've actually exploited SQL injections and fixed them
Job interview confidence - Can share specific examples instead of just buzzwords
Career progress - Getting callbacks for AppSec roles now
Time saved - Everything I need in one place

What do you like best about the product?

AppSecEngineer literally have everything a Security Engineer needs to Skill up across domains, Their wide range of courses along with labs is really easier to Understand. If some is starting out I would point them to AppSec Engineer. I have started using the AppSec Basics and Advance courses and these two are so good, I am looking forward to AI and LLM courses. They have more 1000+ discord community where you can clarify your queries.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing in particular, I really like the UI and ease of accessing the course/labs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integrating / Enhancing the best security practices in our organization
