Case Study: Motorola Solutions drives a winning security culture with Secure Code Warrior

Beyond Compliance Motorola Solutions Drives Winning Security Culture

Motorola Solutions, a global communications technology leader with more than 6,000 developers worldwide, wanted to strengthen its software security culture beyond simple compliance. Senior Cybersecurity Training Specialist Marilyn Barrios needed a way to equip developers with the knowledge, tools, and ongoing training to better defend against growing cybersecurity threats, while also showing security’s importance to software quality. Secure Code Warrior was the vendor used to support this effort.

Secure Code Warrior helped Motorola Solutions create an immersive security training program that began with a boot camp on offensive coding techniques, followed by tournaments where developers tested their defensive skills against realistic attacks. The engaging, people-first approach increased excitement around security and turned participants into advocates; for example, the eventual tournament winner became highly engaged with the Secure Code Warrior tool and encouraged his team to get involved.
