SCW + HackerOne: Leveling up developer security skills with HackerOne vulnerability data

Modern software development is moving faster than ever. With AI accelerating code creation and pressure to ship continuously, developers are racing to build quickly and securely. 

Fixing vulnerabilities earlier in the SDLC is essential to this, but more can be done. Security-forward organizations know that real progress means building resilient, proactive security cultures where developers aren’t just reacting to issues, they are preventing them.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with Secure Code Warrior (SCW), a leading Developer Risk Management Platform! Together, we’re helping developers write more secure code from the start. This partnership works to close the loop between security and development, empowering teams to prevent issues before they happen.

This partnership comes to life through a new integration between our Platforms. With this integration, we’re connecting vulnerability findings from HackerOne reports directly to targeted SCW training modules, delivering actionable guidance on remediating vulnerabilities and how to prevent these same issues from occurring again in the future.

From Reactive Fixes to Proactive Prevention

HackerOne identifies vulnerabilities that actually matter in production. SCW helps developers understand the code patterns, practices and root cause that created them, and how to avoid them next. Together, we’re building an ecosystem that closes the loop between software security and development. This integration gives security teams and developers a shared language that enables:

  • Security findings from HackerOne to power relevant, hands-on training in SCW
  • Developers to learn from real-world issues and take action directly in their tools
  • Development teams reduce repeated vulnerabilities and strengthen their security posture over time

How the integration works

This is a one-way integration connecting HackerOne vulnerability findings to SCW’s pre-built training modules. Here’s the flow:

  1. A vulnerability is reported in the HackerOne Platform.
  2. If that weakness type (selected by the HackerOne researcher) has a matching Secure Code Warrior module, a learning module link appears in the HackerOne report.

  1. Clicking the link takes the developer to the associated SCW module specific to the weakness identified in the vulnerability report. There are two key ways this educational content is delivered:
  • Directly in the HackerOne Platform

Learning module links are available within HackerOne reports within the Platform, ensuring immediate access to contextually relevant SCW training.

  • Integrated into developer tools for remediation

To meet developers where they work, learning module links are also accessible via supported integrations, such as ServiceNow, Jira, GitHub, Linear, Azure DevOps, Asana, and ClickUp. These integrations ensure recommendations are delivered directly in the tools developers use to remediate issues. (Developer integrations must be configured separately).

Real-world use cases

This integration is an exciting step in bridging the gap between security and development. It helps you get more value from your HackerOne data by transforming real-world vulnerabilities into learning opportunities across your development teams. And by surfacing training directly in developer workflows, we’re putting recommendations as close to remediation as possible—enabling faster, smarter fixes.

  • Upskilling developers: Help developers understand common coding errors, why they happened, and how to prevent these issues in the future.
  • Shift remediation left: SCW training is embedded directly into developer workflows, integrating security learnings into the remediation workflow and allowing developers to take immediate action on HackerOne findings. This helps developers address issues earlier in the SDLC and at the source, lowering mean-time-to-remediation (MTTR).
  • Productivity: Free up security teams by automating routine training suggestions linked to vulnerability findings.
