AI risk overview
KnowBe4 has partnered with Secure Code Warrior to provide secure coding training to organizations with technical teams, adding specialized content to KnowBe4’s training library.
This new service is aimed at businesses managing the security impact of AI-assisted software development. It includes 31 learning activities across nine learning series covering the basics of threat modeling, data protection, coding with AI, and application security.
Scope of OWASP
This article also highlights several risks posed by the OWASP framework, including broken access controls, security misconfigurations, software supply chain failures, and encryption failures. Another series focuses on the OWASP Top 10 Large-Scale Language Model Applications.
developer training
This training supports 10 programming languages and is available to our international team in 8 audio languages. It combines traditional educational formats with interactive exercises for developers working with the tools and environments they use every day.
The move reflects the growing use of AI in software development. KnowBe4 and Secure Code Warrior cited data showing that 72% of developers now use AI in their daily workflows, increasing the need for training in software governance and secure coding practices.
For KnowBe4, the deal expands its attack simulation and training library into more technical areas of security education. The company, best known for its security awareness training for employees, can now reach organizations looking for support for developer teams and broader staff populations.
Secure Code Warrior is an Australian scale-up company specializing in developer-focused security training and AI software governance. This partnership provides content access to KnowBe4’s customer base and allows for broader distribution through an established training platform used by organizations around the world.
Rollout details
New learning activities are available to KnowBe4 Diamond and SAT Advanced subscription customers. This places the content in higher-level packages and suggests that the initial rollout is aimed at customers who are already using the company’s extensive training products.
The partnership comes as companies face a more complex software risk environment. AI coding assistants can improve developer outcomes, but security experts warn that faster code generation can introduce vulnerabilities if teams lack the expertise or control to review what is produced.
This concern has pushed software governance to the top of enterprise priorities, especially those that employ large language models and agent-based tools in their development workflows. Training vendors are responding by going beyond general cyber awareness and building content with role-specific instructions for engineers, developers, and security teams.
KnowBe4 created new content in response to customer requests for more up-to-date materials and a more interactive format for technical staff.
“With AI advancing so quickly, our customers need more than just static resources. They want fresh, real-time content and fast-paced interactions to help their technology teams keep up,” said Greg Kras, Chief Product Officer at KnowBe4. “By partnering with Secure Code Warrior, we provide organizations with the foundational knowledge they need to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities before they go into production. This allows them to build a security culture that keeps pace with the rapid adoption of AI tools.”
Secure Code Warrior said the move to AI-assisted and increasingly automated development means secure coding knowledge needs to be more widely disseminated across organizations.
“The rise of AI-driven development requires a new, tailored approach to software governance and developer education,” said Pieter Danhieux, co-founder and CEO of Secure Code Warrior. “As software development moves from human-written code to AI-assisted development to full agent systems, every employee will become a builder of applications and AI agents. It enables developers to leverage AI with the necessary secure coding fundamentals, the foundational capabilities that turn them into confident orchestrators of AI agents, and the ability to control what AI can and cannot touch in their codebase.
“This enables organizations to take advantage of the productivity gains of this disruptive technology while keeping their code secure and their operations secure,” Danhieux added.
