The gamified aspect of the
platform offers hints and allows
developers to earn points and
collect badges, with anonymized
leaderboards for teams.
The company is constantly
expanding and updating
the platform. Its platform
currently has hundreds of
short challenges, covering over
50 common vulnerabilities,
including the OWASP top 10.
It is also constantly updating
its suite of languages and
frameworks, and creating new
challenges daily.
Tournament: Tournament
on the Secure Code Warrior
platform allows organizations
to run competitive and engaging
events that get the whole
developer community involved.
Players will be presented with
a series of vulnerable code
challenges that will ask them
to identify the problem, locate
the insecure code, and fix the
vulnerability. All challenges
are based on the OWASP Top
10 and they can choose from
a range of software languages
to compete in the tournament,
including Java EE, Java Spring,
C# MVC, C# WebForms, Ruby
on Rails, Python Django, Scala
Play, and Node.JS. Throughout
the tournament, developers will
earn points and they can watch
as they climb to the top of the
leaderboard and be crowned the
‘Secure Code Warrior.’
Sensei: Sensei works by
keeping every member of
the team on the same page,
filling the gaps in security
knowledge without requiring
tedious knowledge-based
updates and referencing. It
enables developers and AppSec
to capture their knowledge
in a best practice or code
guidelines and automatically
distribute that knowledge to
the development team. Sensei
provides an efficient solution
to prevent vulnerabilities,
empowering developers to
write secure code from the very
beginning. This puts an end to
time-consuming and expensive
fixes later in the software
development lifecycle.
Sensei also offers defense
against vulnerabilities that
already exist within the code.
Upon detecting an issue, Sensei
highlights it while offering the
developer a pre-defined fix. This
allows developers to swiftly and
consistently correct an issue
across the company without
referencing the in-depth
research on how to remedy that
particular problem.
