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.
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.
