Combination of HackEDU and Security Journey cyber security technology SaaS companies focused on changing human behaviors in the application development community. Security Journey is a Saas platform that trains software development teams how to write more secure code. The number of new software security vulnerabilities increased 59% between 2021 and 2022. None of the top 50 university coding programs require application security classes. Developers know less than most people think about creating secure applications. Instead they focus on functional applications. Security vulnerabilities are caught after the code is in production, putting companies at significant security risk. This is a growing problem being addressed reactively instead of proactively. Security Journey’s secure coding training has improved developer security knowledge as much as 85%.
