Introducing Semgrep Academy: the door to cyber security for everyone

It’s been my dream to share all of my content and knowledge for free, ever since I started learning about AppSec. I was so excited by what I learned, and wanted to tell everyone who would listen. When I started We Hack Purple, I had to charge for content, because it was a business and I had bills to pay. But now, thanks to Semgrep, I’m able to open a completely free academy and level the playing field.

But now, thanks to Semgrep, I’m able to open a completely free academy and level the playing field.

I don’t want the cost of training to be the reason that someone can’t break into our field. I don’t want us to fail as defenders because we didn’t share knowledge as an industry and community as I wish we would. I want anyone who has the passion and drive to be able to join our field, and then excel at it. And I believe that Semgrep Academy is a big step towards this goal.

It is my absolute pleasure to invite you to join Semgrep Academy, an online learning platform that offers free, on-demand courses on a range of information security topics, including application security, secure coding, API security, static analysis, functional programming, and Semgrep products. Whether you are a seasoned developer, security professional, or just starting your journey, Semgrep Academy is here to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in our rapidly growing industry.

Free learning for everyone

At Semgrep, we believe that knowledge and education should be accessible to everyone. That's why Semgrep Academy is completely free for the whole world. Regardless of your background or experience level, you can find a course in our academy that meets you where you’re at. 

Take your career to the next level

Learn a new skill, tool, or change careers completely, the choice is up to you. Semgrep Academy offers a certificate of completion for you to show off when you finish a course, hands-on exercises, quizzes to test your knowledge, videos, PDF downloads, and so much more. 

Conclusion

If you want to write more secure code, if you’re curious about information security, if you want to hone your AppSec skills, I strongly encourage you to explore all that Semgrep Academy has to offer. Take advantage, tell your friends, and please tell us what you think when you finish each course. I’m dying to hear from you.
