“Organizations need a simple way to train and certify both internal and 3rd party developers on application security and secure coding techniques," said Matthew Moynahan, CEO of Veracode. “This partnership leverages the power and flexibility of Veracode’s cloud-based Application Risk Management Services Platform by expanding our eLearning content and allowing our customers access to new security training modules authored by Security Innovation.”
