Launch of new 12-week video series on AI/LLM security empowers developers to safely adopt AI coding and mitigate emerging security risks

Secure Code Warrior, the industry leader in Developer Risk Management (DRM), is expanding its commitment to empowering developers with the knowledge and skills to build secure software. As part of this ongoing initiative, the company is launching a new 12-week AI and LLM Security video series available on YouTube, offering free resources to help developers confidently navigate emerging AI coding risks. The weekly video series guides software developers through the AI/LLM security concepts they can master to confidentially pursue AI-assisted code development and mitigate risks to the organizations they serve.

If 2025 is defined as the year of AI-assisted coding experimentation, 2026 will be known as the year of AI-assisted coding expectation, placing more of the onus on software developers to sharpen their skills and knowledge to thrive in the AI era. Secure Code Warrior is committed to helping companies and developers make better decisions early, reducing vulnerabilities and enabling innovation without compromise. Enterprise security leaders must consider that a security-proficient developer leveraging AI in their role will be in the best position to reap the benefits of 10x productivity, while those who lack security skills will introduce 10x more security risk and technical debt.

This video series builds on Secure Code Warrior’s broader leadership in AI security. Earlier this year, the company published its publicly available AI Security Rules on GitHub, a structured framework that guides AI coding tools toward safer defaults. Combined with the company’s expanding AI/LLM content library and platform-based training, this initiative reinforces Secure Code Warrior’s role as a trusted authority defining the standard for secure AI-assisted development, especially as Secure by Design initiatives become more prominent among enterprise security and development teams.

“AI has already transformed the software development landscape as we know it, and with that touted 10x increase in coding productivity has come a new frontier of security challenges, many of which development teams are struggling to mitigate,” said Pieter Danhieux, CEO and Co-founder, Secure Code Warrior. “We must evolve our secure coding skillsets just as quickly. At Secure Code Warrior, we believe security-proficient developers are at the heart of a safer, AI-powered future. By equipping them to spot risks, enforce secure prompting, and perform precision security review of AI-generated code with confidence, we are ensuring organizations can innovate safely. This series is just the beginning of that journey.”

A 12-Week Curriculum Covering Emerging AI Risks

Each video in the series introduces one of the twelve essential AI/LLM security concepts developers need to master. The first video, “AI Coding Risks: Potential Dangers of Using LLMs,” is now live on the Secure Code Warrior YouTube Channel, with upcoming modules including Sensitive Info Disclosure: Avoiding AI Data Leaks, AI Supply Chain Risks: Securing Dependencies, Data and Model Poisoning: Securing AI/LLM Outputs, Excessive Agency: Controlling AI/LLM Autonomy, and AI Coding Benefits: Secure AI-Assisted Development to follow.

This initial limited series delivers introductory lessons designed to raise awareness of key AI/LLM security risks and help developers make smarter decisions, with additional, in-depth resources available through the SCW platform. Developers seeking additional learning opportunities can access the full suite of AI/LLM security resources within the Secure Code Warrior platform, including:

• AI Challenges simulating real-world AI-assisted workflows
• Walkthroughs, Missions, and Quests for hands-on secure coding practice
• AI/LLM Guidelines aligned to industry best practices
• Topics like secure prompting and OWASP Top 10 for LLMs 

Availability

These resources are available free to all. To stay up to date with this limited video series as new modules are released each week, subscribe to the Secure Code Warrior YouTube channel and follow along in the SCW blog as they cover the AI/LLM security concepts developers need to know.
