It is no secret that resolving software bugs and errors requires less effort and expense when addressing the source. Software developers and testers attend training to gain knowledge, however, when was the last time critical programming concepts on security were the focus or even part of the syllabus? While the data is abound to measure the cost to the organization of fixing bugs as they occur along the SDLC, unfortunately, the cost related to security issues is priceless with respect to impact to the company brand.

Our focus is on providing an education solution aimed directly at the source of where the bugs are normally introduced. Our interactive Computer Based Training (CBT) solution has been carved by years of expertise from delivering hands on education in the live class environment and sharpened by our experiences in auditing actual applications for our customers in the field. When you license our modules, your students benefit from numerous real hacks and software vulnerability situations encountered in the real world. These have often plagued even the most seemingly stringent pre-implementation QA processes when testing for security. The critical piece of education is ensuring the right lessons are taught, absorbed, reinforced, and knowledge retention measured. Our CBT approach achieves these goals, resulting in truly measurable effectiveness and continued process improvement and allowing you to witness security education ROI.
