Overview
Codebashing is a secure code training platform developers actually enjoy! Engaging, effective, and fun, Codebashing empowers developers to write secure code quickly with bite-sized, gamified lessons (5 minutes) that allow them to wear the hackers hat.
With Codebashing, companies can raise the baseline security knowledge across the entire development team in a fast, scalable, and positive way. Preparing developers for the long term by teaching them how to think and act with a secure mindset. Security managers can create and sustain an open channel of communication, keeping developers up-to-date on the latest vulnerabilities news and activities. Managers have full control and visibility - they can easily assign specific programming language courses to their team and continuously track their progress. Managers can also engage their developers in tournaments and other events, fostering learning through friendly competition.
Its just-in-time training approach educates developers on the specific challenges they are facing, as they are facing them. From spotting the latest vulnerabilities, to how to act on them and defend their code - with Codebashing they only have to code one.
A Checkmarx company, leaders in application security for 15 years, Codebashing has security in its DNA. Built by the best security developers, for developers that want to be the best, Codebashing is the preferred developer security training solution for next-generation developers.

Developers have improved vulnerability awareness but require more customizable training options
What is our primary use case?
I have used SonarQube as a community product for static application security testing as well as quality gate checking for the organization. Now I have retired the community edition of SonarQube and I am currently working with Checkmarx for a proper solution.
In my current license configuration, I have Codebashing , secret scanning, and SAST .
Codebashing is solely purposed for training our developers regarding the vulnerabilities we have, and it has seamless integration within Checkmarx. I am running a security champions program which leverages Codebashing platform itself.
How has it helped my organization?
Codebashing serves as a baseline for developers, though not many advanced techniques are available. In the tournament phases, it mostly resembles a Kahoot tournament, so having more CTF capabilities within the platform would be beneficial.
The statistics are really good for the developers after we deployed Codebashing. When people do not know anything regarding a vulnerability, they can gain a basic idea of what that vulnerability is and how they can mitigate things. There are some lacking vulnerabilities in Codebashing platform itself, making it both advantageous and disadvantageous.
What is most valuable?
The best features of Codebashing are the skill trees and the way I can impose trainings for the developers, which is highly effective.
What needs improvement?
It would be beneficial for Codebashing platform if we were able to quickly customize the questionnaires. Currently, we have to work with predefined questionnaires or utilize another language to create quizzes. I would prefer having a GUI for that aspect so I can provide tailor-made questionnaires for the developers, allowing me to utilize Codebashing platform entirely instead of depending on other solutions.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have two years of experience with Checkmarx.
How are customer service and support?
With Codebashing solution, we had a couple of complications, such as account configuration issues. Because we are currently in the initial stages, the support is really good, but we have to wait and see.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Initially, we had Contrast Security, and comparing with that, the coverage against the cost shows that Checkmarx is doing a good job.
How was the initial setup?
Codebashing and Checkmarx SASTÂ are really easy to set up; it is a matter of figuring out the SSOÂ configuration from our end. The rest of the things are currently using the SaaS solution provided by Checkmarx, so the initial setup phase is straightforward.
Scanning the entire organization takes time, which was one of the challenges we faced during the initial phase. To overcome such issues, we had to write scripts as workarounds.
What was our ROI?
With Codebashing we can see a clear difference; the vulnerability fixing ratio became 160% per month, and the density counts started reducing after implementation.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Based on the coverage we receive when comparing it with the IAS tool and the options we receive, such as ID integrations and direct impact on pull push requests, the pricing is much lower than IAS.
What other advice do I have?
I am not familiar with Codebashing updates frequency. We bought it through an agent. On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 7.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Fabulous
A all in one Secure training platform for Developers and IT professionals
Has good stability and availability of comprehensive documentation
What is our primary use case?
We have been using the product for code-scanning purposes.
What is most valuable?
The platform is simple, easy to use, and easy to learn. It has comprehensive guidelines and a lot of documents and videos for an easy installation process. Apart from some default rules, it allows users to configure their own rules. Also, it is easy to configure as it has an extensive library for reference.
What needs improvement?
The product's pricing could be more flexible. At present, we have to buy an entire instance. Instead, they could introduce a pricing model based on specific requirements.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using Codebashing for three to four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The platform has good stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Codebashing's cloud version might be more scalable than the on-premise version.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup process is easy. It takes little time to complete for new users as well. However, it might take time if the infrastructure still needs to be implemented.
What other advice do I have?
Sometimes, Codebashing provides reports with false positives. Thus, I advise others not to rely on the reports and to do a thorough analysis. They may require to change a few configurations. Configuring your own rules is better than going for a default configuration.
I rate it an eight out of ten.
