SCW is a great platform for developers to learn about finding vulnerabilities and their resolution
What do you like best about the product?
The platform has different levels of assessments for certifications programs example white belt certification, yellow belt certification etc. which is similar to karate belts and it gets progressively difficult as the level of developer increases. The Platform provides multiple programming languages to learn and work on assessments to obtain the certification and the scenarios are very engaging. The training videos help explain the types of problems or security threats one can face.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a huge gap between the training videos and the expectation in solving the assessment. While it's easy to learn about security issues theoretically it gets trickier and hard to solve using the inbuilt IDE which does not have shortcuts to navigate files. It's just code, no comment or reference is provided to what the code does. Until you are a trained professional you have to keep exploring and make assumptions even for the white belt certification which is the basic level. The IDE is laggy. The IDE and the whole platform look jazzy and tempting at first but one starts to get confused after using it for a while.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Secure Code Warrior is helping organizations and developers learn about common vulnerabilities and exploits that they can avoid during the development phase of a product. Through their well known certification program, one gets to learn in a competitive online space with multiple programming language support.
