Case Study: Sage empowers teams to deliver customer-centric security
Key results
The challenge
Sage, a global provider of finance, HR, and payroll software for small and medium businesses, wanted to embed security awareness across its engineering organization and complex technology stack. It needed every engineer to feel confident and accountable for security rather than treating it as a specialist concern.
The solution
Sage built a Security Champion Network and used Pluralsight to deliver ongoing, role-relevant skills development to engineers across the business. The program gave teams a shared platform to learn, recommend courses, and build a common security culture globally.
“We want everybody at Sage to understand that the culture at Sage is one where everybody is empowered and confident when it comes to security, no matter what role you're working in.”

The results, in context
Sage reported an 82% reduction in time to address security vulnerabilities after partnering with Pluralsight. More than 1,300 Sage engineering employees learn new skills weekly on the platform, 60% of team members completed more than the recommended courses, and the Security Champion Network grew to 180 engineers.
