NINJIO, a leader in cybersecurity awareness and human risk management, announced its acquisition of SafeStack, a purpose-built developer, security, and application security training platform.

The acquisition brings SafeStack’s technology and expertise into the NINJIO platform, allowing organizations to combine cybersecurity awareness training for employees with secure coding education for software developers.
The move expands NINJIO’s human risk management platform beyond cybersecurity awareness training and phishing simulations and deeper into the software development lifecycle.
What does the acquisition mean for customers?
Organizations using NINJIO will gain access to a more integrated approach to reducing human cyber risk across both employees and development teams.

Why did NINJIO acquire SafeStack?
The acquisition is a natural extension of the integrated partnership between the two companies as they seek to offer a better solution to the market.
“SafeStack has already been an important part of the NINJIO story as the engine behind NINJIO Secure Code,” said Gary Noke, CEO of NINJIO. “This acquisition allows us to go deeper and move faster. Together, we can offer organizations a more complete solution: security awareness for the workforce and secure code training for the teams building the technology they rely on every day.”
“SafeStack was built to help developers and security teams work together to create safer software,” said Laura Bell Main, Founder and CEO of SafeStack. “Through our partnership with NINJIO, we saw firsthand how powerful it could be to combine developer security training with broader human risk management. Joining NINJIO gives us the opportunity to bring that vision to more organizations globally and help make secure development a natural part of how teams build.”
