Committed to a new era of secure software
excellence: Secure Code Warrior
Over a decade I saw the same secure coding
mistakes being repeated and consultants
like me were continually pointing out
the problems, but no one was helping
developers learn how to fix them, or not
make those mistakes again. Learning about
security needed to be more relevant and fun
for developers and existing training tools
were too boring and frankly, not accurate
enough. - Pieter Danhieux, CEO

ecure Code Warrior
was co-founded by
Pieter Danhieux
and Matias Madou
Ph.D., two globally
recognized security
experts. Through
their combined
security experience as
developers, researchers,
trainers, and
consultants, Pieter and
Matias had experienced
the negative impact
of insecure code and
were frustrated by
the industry’s focus
on simply finding
vulnerabilities,
rather than fixing or
Before I created my own company, I was helping to build tools that were
quite good at finding vulnerabilities in code, but they didn’t give any
context-sensitive guidance or fix security problems. I wanted to build a
solution that would help developers write secure code, that would guide
them in real-time when they are writing and help prevent them from
introducing a problem and make it trivial to fix. Developers needed their
own Sensei for secure coding.” - Matias Madou, CTO.

preventing them in the
first place.
Both recognized that
improving secure
coding skills and
outcomes would add
a powerful layer of
cyber protection for
companies and would
help them make better
code, faster. Developers
didn’t need to become
security experts per
se, but they could be
empowered positively
to be the first line
of defense for their
organization.
