OWASP Developer Training

Secure coding training for teams in Iceland, delivered on site or remote for global clients

Don't Just Find Bugs. Stop Creating Them.

OWASP Developer Training is a practical secure coding workshop built for teams that ship software. We run it from Reykjavík, Iceland, and deliver it on site or remote. The training focuses on the OWASP Top 10 and the coding patterns that lead to real security flaws.

Your team does not sit through slides. They read vulnerable code, fix it, and discuss why the bug happened. We tailor examples to your stack and your delivery model, so the lessons map to the code you ship.

Our curriculum is not a static lecture; it is an immersive experience led by offensive security practitioners. We partner with your engineering leads to:

  • Deliver flexible workshops ranging from half-day crash courses to full-day deep dives, tailored to your team’s schedule.
  • Mix theory with practice by combining foundational security concepts with intensive, hands-on coding exercises.
  • Analyze recent breaches to use fresh, real-world cybersecurity events as teachable moments, showing exactly how modern exploits happen.

By demystifying the attacker’s mindset, we empower your developers to build applications that are secure by design.

OWASP Top 10 Deep Dive

We dissect the most critical web application security risks—from SQL Injection to Broken Access Control—explaining the "how" and "why" behind each vulnerability.

Hands-On Secure Coding Labs

Developers don't just listen; they fix. We provide vulnerable code snippets and challenge your team to patch them in real-time exercises.

Real-World Attack Scenarios

We break down high-profile hacks from the recent news cycle, reverse-engineering the specific code failures that caused them.

Stack-Specific Guidance

Whether you use Python, Java, .NET, or Node.js, we tailor our examples to match the languages and frameworks your team uses daily.

Interactive Live Hacking

Instructors demonstrate live exploits against test applications, giving developers a front-row seat to how their code is broken by adversaries.

Key Benefits

"Shift Left" and Save Money Fixing a bug in production costs 100x more than fixing it during design. We train your team to catch flaws early, drastically reducing refactoring costs.

Ensure Compliance (PCI & ISO) Meet the strict secure coding training requirements of standards like PCI-DSS (Req 6.5) and ISO 27001, providing documented proof of competence.

Empower Your Engineering Team Turn security from a roadblock into a skill set. Developers gain confidence in their code, reducing the friction between DevOps and Security teams.

Reduce Vulnerability Recurrence Stop fixing the same bugs over and over. By understanding the root cause of vulnerabilities, developers stop introducing them in new features.

FAQ

Who is this training for?

Engineering teams that build web applications, APIs, and internal services. It is relevant for developers, tech leads, and teams that own security fixes. The training is taught from an attacker's perspective by offensive security practitioners, so it is equally valuable for experienced engineers who want to understand how their code is targeted, not just junior developers learning the basics.

Who delivers the training?

The sessions are led by SecureIT's offensive security practitioners. These are the same people who perform penetration testing and code review engagements. This means the training content is grounded in real attack techniques and current exploitation methods, not theoretical examples pulled from a textbook.

Do you deliver this training in Iceland and also remotely for international teams?

Yes. SecureIT delivers on site in Reykjavík and elsewhere in Iceland. The same workshop is also available remotely for distributed and international teams.

What topics does the training cover?

The training uses the OWASP Top 10 as its foundation and covers the code patterns that cause common vulnerabilities, how they are exploited, and how to fix them in a way that does not regress. Beyond the core framework, sessions include hands on secure coding labs, analysis of real world breaches from recent events, stack specific guidance, and live exploit demonstrations against test applications.

Is the training lecture based or practical?

It is practical. Developers work through short exercises, review vulnerable code, implement fixes, and discuss prevention patterns. Instructors also demonstrate live exploits against test applications so the team sees firsthand how code weaknesses are used by attackers.

Can you tailor the workshop to our stack?

Yes. Tell SecureIT your languages, frameworks, authentication model, and typical architecture. If you have recurring findings from penetration tests or code reviews, those are incorporated as exercises so the training addresses patterns your team actually encounters in production.

How long is the training and what formats are available?

Common formats are half day or full day sessions. The training can also be split across multiple shorter blocks if that fits your team's schedule and availability better.

How is this different from free OWASP training resources?

Free resources provide general knowledge but are not tailored to your codebase, stack, or threat profile. SecureIT's training is customized to your environment, led by practitioners who actively exploit the same vulnerability classes they teach, and built around interactive exercises rather than passive content. If you have findings from previous security assessments, those become part of the curriculum. The result is training that directly reduces the specific vulnerability patterns your team introduces.

What do we need to provide before the session?

Your tech stack details, team size, preferred delivery format (on site or remote), and any internal standards or secure coding guidelines you want the training aligned to. If you have prior pentest or code review reports, sharing those helps SecureIT focus the exercises on your actual risk areas.

What does our team receive after the training?

A summary of topics covered, a set of recommended secure coding rules and practices matched to your stack, and reference material the team can use during development. This gives your engineers a practical resource they can apply immediately, not just a certificate of attendance.
