Avatao's approach to secure coding training
The Avatao platform immerses developers in high-profile cases and provides them with real, in-depth experience with challenging security breaches. Engineers learn to hack and patch the bugs themselves. The vendor states that in this way, Avatao equips software engineering teams with a security mindset that increases their capability to reduce risks and react to known vulnerabilities faster, and that this in turn increases the security capability of a company to ship high-quality products.
Topics
With 600+ challenges and tutorials in 10+ languages, the platform covers a range of security topics across the security stack from OWASP Top 10 to DevSecOps and Cryptography.

Avatao is one of the best platforms for new developers to have real-time scenarios to protect themselves from any potential security harms. A modern developed software, intuitive platform compiled of relevant up to date content which helps to build and maintain good development skills. It has all the best features that teach developers real-life scenarios on how to avoid common security fails in the development of software.
- It gives a lot of liberty to developers to do things according to their needs and requirements to check whether it is a good approach or not.
- I am using this tool for developing software and it has been a great platform for us in doing work especially.
- It is compiled of all the best tools and provides a real time exercises to check codes easily.
- Easy to use and user-friendly.
- [I feel] it needs to be more functional while integrating with other platforms. Not the biggest drawback but there is a need to add more languages to it like PHP, Go, and Scala which is also very much developed and used in the organization.
- [I believe] the support team needs to be more active and responsive while dealing with the customers.

Great platform for learning about IT security
I use the Avatao platform to get better at secure coding, as well as improve my general IT security knowledge.
- Interactive tutorials that make learning feel effortless and fun.
- Wide range of topics covered.
- Challenges are sufficently difficult and therefore exciting to solve.
- If you get stuck, asking for help is easy and you are provided with just enough information to get going again.
- Once your trial expires, you cannot do any tutorials or challenges.

Excellent platform for training in software security
I have used the Avatao platform in cybersecurity courses to provide practical exercises in software security to students. The platform makes it very easy to create and deploy exercises in a wide range of areas (e.g., web security, C/C++ vulnerabilities). The user interface is intuitive, and students have generally found it convenient. The platform provides a safe environment, where students can experiment and gain first-hand experience with software security. I would definitely recommend it!
- intuitive user interface (for both content creators and end users)
- support for wide range of software security topics
- reliable cloud backend
- safe environment for learning about and experimenting with software vulnerabilities
- recent change in user interface (takes a bit of getting used to if one is familiar with the old interface)

Great tool to improve secure coding skills!
All of our development teams have to complete some tasks on Avatao every couple of months. We use it to raise awareness about security and focus mainly on the OWASP top 10.
- Hands-on exercises. We are far from any type of simulation or static content; Avatao provides real applications to train with and focuses both on exploitation and code fixing.
- It is a great option for remote security training.
- The modules represent real-life issues, which is an advantage.
- They could implement Ruby in the exercises.
