Secure Code Warrior


Secure Code Warrior was co-founded by Pieter Danhieux and Matias Madou, Ph.D., two globally recognised 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 finding vulnerabilities, rather than fixing or preventing them. Both recognised improving secure coding skills and outcomes would add a powerful layer of cyber protection for companies and would help them make better, faster code. Developers didn’t need to become security experts, but could be empowered as the first line of defence for their organisation.
