About Pangea Securathon

Pangea Securathon is a great opportunity to build your security skills by simply using Pangea’s APIs. We’re looking to have developers use one or more of our APIs creatively, build open-source solutions using Pangea, and provide feedback along the way. Join us for this hackathon –

  • You’ll have the opportunity to directly interact with some of the best engineers in cybersecurity on the Pangea team, win some prizes, and earn some social swagger with our cool Credly badges you can share on your social profiles to highlight your experience learning about our security features in this event.
  • All active participants will be awarded a beautiful participant badge to show off on their social profile their awareness of the importance of security in software development work. There will be unique and special badges for winners of the event.

About Pangea

Pangea is the first Security Platform as a Service (PaaS) delivering comprehensive security functions which app developers can leverage with a simple call to Pangea’s APIs. The platform offers foundational security services such as Authentication, Authorization, Audit Logging, Secrets Management, Entitlement, and Licensing. Other security functions include PII Redaction, Embargo, as well as File, IP, URL, and Domain intelligence.

  • Just as you would use AWS for computing, Twilio for communications, or Stripe for payments – Pangea provides security functions directly into your apps.
  • Pangea unifies security for developers, delivering a single platform where API-first security services are streamlined and easy for any developer to deliver secure user experiences.
