Hey there, coders, testers, analysts, and software architects — we’ve got something new, just for you.

For the past few years, we’ve made secure development training accessible for more than 5,000 learners and nearly 1,500 organizations worldwide.

Today, we’re so happy to launch our Pro Plan — a new tier of access within SafeStack that’s designed for solo learners who want to level up their secure development skills and earn verified credentials, all with the support of our community.


For only $10 a month, you can learn how to weave application security through everything you build, with unlimited access to all our Secure Development content, including courses and credentials, labs, monthly seminars, and our purpose-built online community.

So, what exactly does this new plan get you?

Relevant, role-specific courses and credentials

Whatever our roles within our software development teams, we all have a part to play in securing our software. To help you learn how to do that, SafeStack’s courses cover security techniques and approaches you can put into practice throughout your SDLC — all the way from having that first great idea to maintaining your software for its lifetime.

Plus, you’ll earn verified, shareable credentials for courses you complete — what better way to prove what you’ve learned and add some shine to your professional profile?

Learning experiences and labs

Turn theory into practice and help reinforce what you’re learning with SafeStack labs, giving you a safe place to experiment and play. Labs are built into our courses, giving you a scenario about a fictional company called Crypt-Oh-No and a challenge to solve by applying what you’ve learned.

No fancy equipment required — all you need is a browser and its built-in developer tools.

Grow your skills with our SafeStack Community

As you’re making secure development techniques part of your world, it helps to have support from other people with similar experiences. That’s where our purpose-built online community shines, giving you a place to:

  • Ask questions anonymously to get help
  • Join interactive seminars and get hands-on as a group
  • Share secure development approaches and news

How the Pro Plan can help you

Let’s look at how this plan can get you closer to your goals, starting today.

“I’m investing in my development, so I’m all set for a great career in software development”

The SafeStack Pro Plan is here to help you take that step toward a better career. No need to be part of a team; you can do this on your own — and you have the SafeStack Community to cheer you on whenever you need it.

“I’m looking for a new role, and I want to stand out from the crowd”

We totally get it! In a challenging job market, we all want to make sure we get noticed.

More companies these days are looking for software engineers who understand and apply essential security skills and behaviors as they go — and this is where learning secure development techniques and approaches can help you.

Secure development is about considering cyber security all the way through the SDLC —  similar to thinking ahead in construction. When we build houses, we put a lot of time and effort into getting the foundations right. Being in the middle of installing doors and windows when you realize the foundations need work would be a real pain — not to mention the cost. The same goes for security, and that’s why we need to secure our systems as well as our code.

What’s more, our courses come with verified credentials that you can share as part of your CV and social profiles, as well as membership to our active community — a great place to meet new peers and maybe even your future employer?
