KnowBe4 Announces Strategic Partnership with Secure Code Warrior to Deliver Interactive Secure Coding Training

Organizations can train developers on AI governance and secure coding across 10 programming languages

KnowBe4, the global leader in digital workforce security, securing both AI agents and humans, has today announced a new partnership with Secure Code Warrior, a leader in AI software governance and secure coding training. The partnership will deliver a specialized suite of secure coding content to the KnowBe4 attack simulation and training library, designed to provide foundational security awareness for organizations with technical roles.

As software development evolves, the integration of AI has become standard, with recent data indicating that 72% of developers now use AI in their daily workflows. This partnership addresses the risks associated with AI-driven development and provides clear guidance on secure coding as a critical pillar of modern AI software governance.

"With AI moving as fast as it is, our customers need more than just static resources. They are asking for fresh, real-time content and fast-paced interaction to make sure their technical teams don't fall behind," said Greg Kras, chief product officer, KnowBe4. "By partnering with Secure Code Warrior, we are providing organizations with the foundational knowledge needed to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they are ever baked into production. This helps organizations build a security culture that keeps pace with the rapid adoption of AI tools."

The partnership will provide 31 learning activities across nine comprehensive learning series, covering essential topics such as:

• Application Security 101
• OWASP Top 4 (Broken Access Control, Security Misconfiguration, Software Supply Chain Failures and Cryptographic Failures)
• OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Application
• Coding with AI
• Data Protection
• Threat Modeling

The content includes a variety of both traditional and interactive learning and supports 10 different programming languages, allowing developers to learn within the context of the tools they use every day. To support global teams, the content is also available in eight spoken languages.

"The rise of AI-driven development requires a new, tailored approach to software governance and developer education," said Pieter Danhieux, Co-Founder & CEO of Secure Code Warrior. "As software development shifts from human-written code, to AI-assisted development, to fully agentic systems, every employee will become a builder of applications and AI agents. By bringing our high-quality, interactive learning experiences to KnowBe4's extensive global network, we will enable developers to embrace AI with the secure coding fundamentals they need: the foundational capability that transforms developers into confident orchestrators of AI agents, capable of governing what AI can and can't touch in their codebases.

"This enables organizations to keep their code secure and their operations safe while they leverage the productivity gains of this disruptive technology."

All learning activities are available starting today to KnowBe4 Diamond and SAT Advanced subscription customers.
