Original Post: Why We Hack Purple and I are joining Semgrep
The content discusses the journey and evolution of “We Hack Purple,” a company founded to make application security (AppSec) knowledge more accessible and to foster a large community of AppSec professionals. Since its inception in February 2020, it has successfully graduated hundreds of security experts and built a community of over 8,000 members.
The founder reflects on the decision to remain a small, bootstrapped company to provide personalized service and support other communities like The Diana Initiative. The turning point came with a proposal to merge with another company, Semgrep, renowned for its community-building ethos and innovative AppSec tools. This merger allows We Hack Purple to offer free training and expand its impact.
As the new Head of Community & Education at Semgrep, the founder can now focus on creating and delivering more educational content and growing the secure coding community. The post ends by encouraging readers to stay tuned for future events, content, and training by signing up for the Semgrep newsletter.
