About We Hack Purple
We Hack Purple was a Canadian company dedicated to helping anyone and everyone create secure software. We were acquired by Semgrep in August 2023, and plan to give tons of training to their customers and the community. Most of the courses from our online academy have been moved into Semgrep's free online Academy, please join us there to learn, connect and grow! Our goal is to share valuable security information with our industry, and train individuals to help fill the many empty security roles in organizations around the world with qualified and skilled workers.
