Caner Özden
Founder of SecureCodingHub. Mathematician turned application security practitioner with 16 years building static analysis tools and developer training programs across the defense and telecom industries — ten of those years leading his own security software companies as founder and operator.
Caner Özden is the founder of SecureCodingHub. His background combines mathematics, computer science, and cyber law — a mix that shaped a career-long focus on the formal and technical side of application security: static analysis, secure coding training, and the engineering practices that scale across development teams.
Over sixteen years in software security, Caner has worked across the defense industry and major telecom operators, where he led work on static analysis tooling, secure SDLC adoption, and developer enablement programs. The last ten of those years he has spent as founder and operator of his own security software companies — building and leading engineering teams, owning end-to-end product and go-to-market, and shipping software that helps development organizations identify and remediate vulnerabilities before they ship. The shape of SecureCodingHub — engine-out training, language-aware coverage, real production patterns — comes directly from that operator experience.
At SecureCodingHub he writes about application security from a developer's point of view — how vulnerability classes actually appear in production code, how SAST/DAST tooling fits into modern CI/CD, and how training programs can move beyond compliance theatre into measurable skills uplift. He has particular interest in the secure SDLC, AI-assisted coding security, the OWASP Top 10 lineage, and the intersection of secure development with regulatory frameworks like PCI DSS 4.0.1 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
