Contrast Security announced its integration with Secure Code Warrior to deliver just-in-time security contextual micro-learning modules to enhance developers' skills to easily fix vulnerabilities without the need of a security team.

Recognizing that traditional security training models simply do not scale and provide developers with the just-in-time training demanded by modern software development life cycle, Contrast and Secure Code Warrior have partnered for just-in-time approach that empowers developers to develop secure coding skills while they write and release code.

"Developers care about security but struggle due to legacy training approaches that fail to deliver contextually relevant guidance that they need," said Nikesh Shah, Sr. Director of Strategic Alliances at Contrast Security.

"We need developers to be security-aware, not security experts, and education and automation are at the foundation for DevSecOps transformation. Just-in-time training within the Contrast platform is immensely more effective - and efficient - than traditional security classroom training that is theoretical rather than practical. The integration between Secure Code Warrior and Contrast enables developers to learn and develop secure coding practices that significantly reduce the number of vulnerabilities introduced into new code. This improves the productivity of developers who are under increasingly greater time pressures while dramatically reducing application risk."

Contrast and Secure Code Warrior aim to enable developers to level up their security knowledge and skills while leaving behind boring assessments and tick-the-box training.

"We will never have enough application security specialists to deal with the amount of code being produced. It is time to stop trying to win an impossible game," said Stephen Allor, Head of Partners, Global at Secure Code Warrior.
