Security Journey Overview

What is Security Journey?

Security Journey offers a robust cybersecurity education tool to help developers and the entire SDLC team recognize and understand vulnerabilities and threats and proactively mitigate these risks. The knowledge learners acquire in our program goes beyond helping learners code more securely – it turns everyone in the SDLC into security champions. Our platform takes a unique level-based approach, transitioning learners from security basics to language-specific knowledge to the experiential learning required to become security champions. With lessons offered in multiple formats, including text, video, and hands-on sandbox environments, there is a modality that resonates with every learning style. Organizations with teams of security champions develop a security-first mindset that allows them to deliver safer, more secure applications.

Product Description

Security Journey uses offensive security training as well as defensive instruction. This is effective and keeps developers engaged.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Security Journey has several foundational beliefs that set it apart from other offerings on the market today. First, developers learn and retain that knowledge most effectively when they are able to put into practice the knowledge gained during training. This means we offer sandbox-style environments where developers actually break and fix code using the information learned in lessons. No other offering on the market today gives developers this breadth and depth of hands-on learning opportunities.

Equally important, we believe that application security doesn’t stop with developers. The entire team involved with delivering applications should possess the knowledge and skills to recognize and resolve vulnerabilities and risks. We provide training to everyone involved in the SDLC, so that every team member can become security champions, too.

What do you like best about Security Journey?

To me, Security Journey stands apart firstly by the quality of the videos: The production quality, the quality of the conversations (how eloquent the interviews are), and how clear and accessible the content is.

Secondly, the tests are effective and just challenging enough for any prior level of knowledge.

This is a service to use as part of weekly or monthly activities, to fully get the benefit of learning, as part of a journey to know and do better in your role.

The interface is also very neat, professional and straightforward. It's an easy-to-use platform, which makes visiting the site enjoyable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Security Journey?

The lessons and tests that I have gone through as part of Security Journey itself are not hands-on, as opposed to practical exercices. And because of this, they require serious attention to retain the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Security Journey solving and how is that benefiting you?

Security Journey is making me a better developer. I am able to remember key concepts during my application development and devops activities, and apply them using the examples provided in the lessons. It also leads me to always keeping security in mind, and making it a priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Security Journey?

The quizzes that comes after each tutorial videos, I found it really beneficial for me to rate my understanding on that particular topic. The UI for the tutorial is also seemed helpful and user friendly as it gives me the ability to watch the video while scroll over the transcripts and do some note takings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Security Journey?

The notification email that I received sometimes are not aligned with the courses that I am allowed to take. For example, I'd received a notification that I'm preparing for Green Belt course, but when I checked my SecurityJourney account, I still didn't get the GB course. Same thing is happening now with Brown Belt. I received the notification email but still hasnt got the access to do the course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Security Journey solving and how is that benefiting you?

With this course, I am more aware of the current and existing threats that revolves around the tech industry thus I'm always taking the extra steps to detect the vulnerabilities and improve my test execution process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The course is set up so you can learn bit by bit. The coding exercise is interesting enough to keep the users stay engaged. The game-like appearance of the course is very motivating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Security Journey?

In a few cases, the instructions provided in the course don’t align with what’s in the code sandbox. This is a minor drawback for the user experience but I am still able to navigate through the sandbox. It would be better if the course is more maintained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
