A true secure coding training platform for software developers
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to be hands-on to learn secure coding as a sofware developer/programmer. As a beginner in secure coding, I can refer to the resources section (videos). As an intermediate level, I can play with challenges on the training or courses ground. As an expert, I can take assessments or participate in timed-tournaments. SCW is for every skill level of a developer.
What do you dislike about the product?
The GUI sometimes shapes out when operating it at high loads (prolonged period of use).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple.
1. Every software developer who joins the company is trained on OWASP Top 10 (at awareness level, at high skilled level). Based on secure coding skill, we can assign the developer to low sensitive or high sensitve projects.
2. PCI DSS compliance enforces software developers undergo the mandatory training. Thankfully, SCW provides secure coding course as compliant with PCI-DSS. This helps to showcase the developer's attendance and completion report during PCI-DSS audits.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
While there are tens of other tools in the market on secure coding, SecureCodeWarrior is the best platform that works for every software developer in the world, whatever skill level s/he is at. I recommend every company in the market that makes software for any business reasons to use SecureCodeWarrior as a training platform on secure coding to their developers.
SCW our journey to date
What do you like best about the product?
The gamification aspect, across a lot of computer languages, some vendors only offer it in one language/platform. During a tournament, developers/programmers can also compete with others.
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning Needs Analysis at an individual even team level needs further development. Some activities do not count towards achieving higher maturity, e.g. from Beginner to Security Aware, when it clearly should be.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting staff to think about OWASP Top 10, log4J vulnerabilities and realising that it doesn't take as much effort as initially thought to make their apps more secure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Macro learning and gamification are the most attractive features of SCW. Considering the cost of specialised courses, the annual cost per person for a corporate license, is reasonable. Do note that you need to have a clear Program and Communications Plan to get the most out of SCW. Running tournaments within and outside your organisation will be beneficial.
Security Exposure by Example
What do you like best about the product?
I love how Secure Code Warrior provides concrete examples of vulnerable code. It is often difficult to find straightforward examples of vulnerable code in applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is unclear what the path to exploitation was even after being presented with the suggested fix for the vulnerability. I would love to see a video or written explanation of how an attacker might exploit the vulnerability in the provided example and how the approved patch fixes the vulnerability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure Code Warrior helps solve the problem of developers not having much exposure to real-world vulnerabilities. By providing examples of what vulnerable code looks like, developers are more likely to consider security when writing code.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend that you give Secure Code Warrior a try and maybe even require your developers to complete at least one module in a language of their choice.
Secure Code is a Knowledge Quest Warrior
What do you like best about the product?
All the Trainings in this Platform seem to be Challenging and Wonderful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to Dislike, as if we are unable to take some decision, we can get the help of a hint to answer the Particular question.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the Initial C# Challenge, I tried to Solve Some Problems related to Authentication Login and Log out Scenarios. I can assume the Benefit in the Knowledge gained
Secure Code Warrior -- Innovative & Constructive
What do you like best about the product?
I like the best about this platform is the tournaments. They allow us to showcase our skills and at the same time have a health competition too and learn from our peers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think not anything specific. There should be more tournaments and contests.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been solving problems related to java. It has helped me become better at my coding following security standards.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend people to use this platform to enhance their skills, learn new techniques of secure coding.
OWASP - TOP 10
What do you like best about the product?
Getting info about existing breaches and learn ways to resolve them in a fun way with challenges and explainations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont really see the use of accumulate points and having a score (plus that other users can see)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps to realize what differents security problems we can forget while developing online services, and there are more problem situations than we think.
Learn more about potential vulnerabilities
What do you like best about the product?
Most of all, I liked finding vulnerabilities in non-obvious places when passing tests.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some tests contain completely unexpected answers, but most of the answers are obvious if you read the test description carefully.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have become much more careful when implementing SOAP calls. Refactoring has been done in some places when working with XML.
The Platform was very intuitive. It was engaging and worth the time.
What do you like best about the product?
The Platform was very easy to use. Had a lot of good features.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way the competitions work. A bit unfair to have a single leaderboard for different Programming languages
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Security aspects in day to day coding.
Great way to learn writing secure code
What do you like best about the product?
Gamifying the learning process makes it very addictive. Rich content and challenges. Quick response on the question feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
The questions sometimes is a bit confusing and not perfect. The code in the platform wasn't written in production-ready style. But the great thing is it allows us to give feedback right away on the same page.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure code training
Code security requires practice!
What do you like best about the product?
Provides a range of practical challenges to teach you how to look for security problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
More deep dives into technology-specific security risks or links to further reading.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Updating my code with the latest technology and hybrid cloud security challenges.
