RNP closes the gap between security theory and real-world code for its red and blue teams

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Telecommunications ยท 1,000+ employees

RNP (Rede Nacional de Ensino e Pesquisa) is Brazil's National Education and Research Network, the country's academic Internet backbone connecting hundreds of universities, research institutions, and government science agencies across all 27 Brazilian states.

Challenge

RNP's security team needed to close the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application security. Both red and blue team professionals needed to truly understand vulnerabilities at the code level, not just in a slide deck.

Solution

RNP's teams use SecDim's gamified, code-level challenges, integrated with the Git-based workflows developers already use, with immediate feedback and performance tracking built in, so both offense and defense skills get sharpened through hands-on exercises rather than theory.

Result

The hands-on exercises simulate real attack and defense scenarios, improving secure coding practices, vulnerability identification, and incident response skills across the team. That directly strengthens RNP's software security posture and reduces the risk of exploitable flaws in production.

“SecDim offers highly practical and realistic security challenges that go beyond theoretical knowledge. What I like most is the technical depth and coding-focused approach, which forces participants to truly understand vulnerabilities at the code level. The platform is ideal for both red and blue team professionals who want to sharpen their skills through hands-on exercises. It's also a great tool for continuous learning and team training in secure development and vulnerability analysis.”
