Build a Security-First Culture

We train your developers to think like attackers and code like defenders — through hands-on workshops, champion programs, and practical labs in your own codebase.

Duration: 1-4 weeks Team: 1 Senior Security Engineer

You might be experiencing...

Developers have no formal security training
Same vulnerability patterns keep appearing in code reviews
No security champions identified within engineering teams
Security knowledge concentrated in one or two people
Generic security training doesn't stick — no practical application

Tools alone don’t solve security — people do. The most effective security programs are the ones where every developer understands secure coding fundamentals and every team has a security champion who bridges the gap between engineering and security.

Our training isn’t generic slide decks about abstract threats. We build custom workshops using your actual codebase, your tech stack, and your real vulnerability patterns. Developers learn by finding and fixing real issues in code they recognize.

The security champion program creates a sustainable, distributed security culture. Champions become the first line of defense — catching issues in code review, answering security questions from peers, and escalating risks before they reach production.

Engagement Phases

Week 1

Needs Assessment

Analyze common vulnerability patterns in your codebase, assess team skill levels, identify knowledge gaps, customize training curriculum.

Week 1-2

Core Training Delivery

OWASP Top 10 workshop, secure coding labs in your tech stack, threat modeling exercises using real application architecture.

Week 2-3

Champion Program Setup

Identify and train security champions, define champion responsibilities, create peer review guidelines, establish security office hours.

Week 3-4

Ongoing Enablement

Create internal security knowledge base, set up CTF challenges, establish vulnerability remediation SLAs, build feedback loops.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your training different from generic security courses?

Our workshops use your actual codebase, your tech stack, and your real vulnerability patterns. Developers learn by finding and fixing real issues in code they recognize, not abstract examples. Every lab exercise is customized to your environment.

How long does the training program take?

The core training runs 1-4 weeks. Week 1 covers needs assessment and OWASP Top 10 workshops, weeks 2-3 set up the security champion program, and weeks 3-4 establish ongoing enablement including CTF challenges and a security knowledge base.

What is a security champion and how many do we need?

A security champion is a developer within each team who serves as the local security advocate — reviewing code for security patterns, answering peer questions, and escalating risks. We recommend one champion per engineering team, and we provide dedicated training and a champion playbook.

Can the training be delivered remotely?

Yes. All workshops, labs, and champion training sessions can be delivered via video conference. For UAE-based clients, we also offer on-site delivery at your office. The hands-on labs use your own codebase regardless of delivery format.

How do you ensure the training sticks long-term?

We go beyond one-time workshops by setting up internal CTF challenges for ongoing practice, establishing vulnerability remediation SLAs, creating a security knowledge base, and building feedback loops between security findings and training topics. The security champion program ensures continuous peer-to-peer learning.
