Specializing in live security training for software developers and security professionals, Tanya Janca injects a captivating blend of expertise and humour into her secure coding education. Her newly updated and expanded training, inspired by the content from her new book “Alice and Bob Learn Secure Coding,” covers a wide array of topics including how to secure web apps, APIs, mobile, serverless, and an extensive list of deep dives into several popular programming languages and frameworks.
API Security
With a keen focus on teaching formats and lessons that help students do their jobs more securely (rather than ‘hacking’, exploits, or other trendy topics), Tanya’s sessions integrate in-depth lectures, lively discussions, and extensive code reviews to analyze the spectrum of “bad, better, and best” code.
Secure Coding
Tanya’s training is designed to ensure long-term knowledge retention via several well-
known learning strategies, which include micro breaks, recall exercises, cheat
sheets, quizzes, and special opportunities to apply recently learned concepts, to
guarantee practical knowledge retention, regardless of the time frame.
Application Security
As a former professional entertainer, Tanya brings an element of fun and humour to her classes, ensuring that learning is both engaging and enjoyable.
Tanya can be hired via She Hacks Purple Inc. (a Canadian corporation) or Janca Security Services LLC. (an American corporation, for USA clients only).
Reviews
Tanya Janca’s Application Security and Secure Coding courses do a great job of breaking down complex security concepts into practical, easy-to-follow lessons. The ‘Bad, Better, Best’ technique was especially helpful, it made code reviews more focused and showed the difference between just fixing a problem and fixing it well. The sessions are engaging, and Tanya brings real-world context that keeps the material relevant. Overall, it’s a solid resource for anyone looking to improve their secure coding skills.

“The engaging presentation skills of Tanya as instructor keep it fun, light, and almost
conversational. The exercises compel you to think aspects of AppSec which one might have not thought of. Case studies really help strengthen understanding and open the doors of perception to new possibilities”

“We decided to work with Tanya to jumpstart our AppSec program; we are happy we did. Tanya took our development and security leadership team through her two-day foundations workshop, and we left feeling empowered to begin our journey. Tanya is an engaging presenter and thoughtful sounding board, and her expertise in this field shines through. We look forward to continuing to work with her.”

“Tanya is both extremely knowledgeable, and a fantastic teacher of the knowledge. This course both brought excitement, and guided my curiosity into safe learning and cultivated even more curiosity. It was all things; engaging, fun, helpful, and a healthy balance of convergent and divergent learning. Just fantastic! Loved every moment of it.”
