NINJIO and SafeStack Collaborate to Enhance Developer Security Training Efforts

Enhancing Cybersecurity Training through Collaboration

In a significant move to bolster cybersecurity training and human risk mitigation, NINJIO, a prominent player in Human Risk Management solutions, has recently joined forces with SafeStack. This partnership aims to create a comprehensive training platform designed specifically for both workforce and software development teams. By integrating NINJIO's established security awareness programs with SafeStack's specialized development training, the collaboration seeks to drive greater security understanding among employees, especially in connection with human behavior and coding practices.

The Need for Comprehensive Cybersecurity Training

As cyber threats continue to evolve, the key to combating such risks lies within the human element of organizations. Research indicates that around sixty percent of cybersecurity breaches occur due to human error. Recognizing this, NINJIO and SafeStack have developed training content tailored to meet the diverse experiences and roles of every employee within an organization. This allows for an effective and personalized approach to mitigate human risk, fostering a culture of security awareness and proactive behavior.

Details of the Partnership

Under this new collaboration, various training modules will be available that cover a wide range of essential skills, including:
1. NINJIO AWARE Monthly: This program provides engaging, story-driven cybersecurity awareness training aimed at all employees. The content focuses on recognizing risk factors, understanding organizational policies, and implementing best practices.
2. NINJIO SENSE: A personalized security coaching service targeting unique vulnerabilities that individuals may face, ensuring each participant receives customized guidance based on their social engineering susceptibilities.
3. NINJIO Secure Code: Focused on secure software development practices, this module educates developers on crucial topics like the OWASP Top 10 threats, secure software development lifecycle (SDLC), and compliance standards such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, and NIST.

The integration of these training programs within NINJIO’s comprehensive platform allows organizations to oversee and manage training processes efficiently. This not only centralizes reporting and analytics but also enhances the overall learning experience for employees.

Closing the Gap between Human Behavior and Code Security

Gary Noke, the President and CEO of NINJIO, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "This partnership closes the gap between human behavior and code security, preparing companies for the more technical threats that face their teams." He emphasized that combining developer training with security awareness training provides a well-rounded strategy for effectively managing human risk throughout organizations.

Laura Bell Main, the founder of SafeStack, echoed this sentiment, explaining how their innovative AppSec training, alongside NINJIO’s offerings, will create a more robust education program for companies engaged in software development. With both organizations aligned in their mission to enhance security practices, they aim to provide unparalleled value and support to their clients across varying sectors.

Simplifying Management and Delivering Value

NINJIO's approach emphasizes the provision of cohesive, enterprise-ready education. Not only does it cover workplaces from the front desk to the source code, but it also delivers training solutions that reduce complexity in management and enhance cost-effectiveness over point-based solutions. The multiple facets of training culminating in a singular solution highlight NINJIO's commitment to quality and accessibility in educating employees about cybersecurity.
