Synopsys eLearning provides interactive digital courseware designed to help development teams learn and implement best practices for secure coding.
Relevant, impactful application security training
Synopsys eLearning helps development teams learn the skills they need to secure their environment and apply them to their day-to-day routines. To help teams build knowledge around their security needs, Synopsys eLearning provides:
- Broad coverage of software security concepts. Choose from a wide variety of courses depending on compliance and security objectives, development technologies, and skill levels.
- Real-world case studies. Learners apply software security concepts and practices to common use cases and scenarios.
- Relevant material. When integrated with other Synopsys products, eLearning recommends lessons based on real security issues in your code.
Synopsys portfolio integrations help developers learn as they code
Synopsys portfolio integrations allow eLearning to recommend specific lessons based on issues identified by Code Sight, Coverity, and Seeker (IAST). The results:
- Focused lessons. Developers get information on specific security challenges in their code.
- To-the-point learning options. Short, targeted lessons allow developers to get back to coding quickly.
- On-demand education. Developers learn about application security when it makes sense for them.
Code Sight integration
After finding a NoSQL query injection defect in a JavaScript file, Code Sight recommended lessons in eLearning courses.
Coverity integration
eLearning training lets you tackle issues head on. When Coverity identifies a defect, eLearning will serve you the relevant CWE course.
Seeker integration
eLearning suggested lessons in OWASP Top 10 and Defensive Programming for Java EE Web Applications for this SQL injection vulnerability.
Manage user engagement and measure impact
You can administer eLearning through on-premises course files or our hosted platform. To help you provision courses and track their impact, we provide:
- Flexible implementation. Dynamically assign specific courses to user groups, or let users learn at their own pace.
- Tools to motivate and engage learners. Learners can earn badges, compete on leaderboards, and earn customizable certificates in specific topics.
- Comprehensive reporting. Assess training impact with real-time reporting on progress, user engagement, and assessment scores for every learner.
- Ability to act on feedback. Learners can rate courses so you can build your curriculum based on real feedback.

Who develops our eLearning lessons?
Every course is designed by top experts in the software security field. Our content creators continuously produce new and updated courses so development teams learn about the most current and relevant security topics and skills. Let us introduce you.
Philippe De Ryck
As a Ph.D. in web security, I learned to dig deep and uncover the root causes of security issues. Now, I use that knowledge to offer security training to developers. Synopsys eLearning is a great way to spread my knowledge to even more developers.
Jimmy Mesta
Building modern, developer-friendly security solutions makes me tick. I’ve helped teams identify and remediate flaws in complex systems. My aim is to share my knowledge with Synopsys and give developers an edge over their adversaries.
Ron Perris
As a developer, I’ve built vulnerability remediation tools. As a researcher, I’ve found critical vulnerabilities. As a leader, I’ve raised awareness on construction techniques. Now I’m working with Synopsys to share security knowledge.
Casey Dunham
I believe education is a key factor in a robust, agile secure development life cycle. My aim is to bring my defensive and offensive security experience to Synopsys eLearning and empower developers with the education they need.
Jim Manico
My passion is training developers. I volunteer for the OWASP Foundation, and I’ve written many publications. I love bringing my network of experience to Synopsys eLearning and building a learning community around secure development.
