Avatao Overview

What is Avatao?

Avatao’s security training goes beyond simple tutorials and videos offering an interactive job-relevant learning experience to developer teams, security champions, pentesters, security analysts and DevOps teams. With 750+ challenges and tutorials in 10+ languages, the platform covers a wide range of security topics across the entire security stack from OWASP Top 10 to DevSecOps and Cryptography. Avatao's secure coding training immerses developers in high-profile cases and provides them with real, in-depth experience with challenging security breaches. Engineers will actually learn to hack and patch the bugs themselves. This way Avatao equips software engineering teams with a security mindset that increases their capability to reduce risks and react to known vulnerabilities faster. This in turn increases the security capability of a company to ship high-quality products.
