SCW Trust Agent - Visibility and Control to Scale Developer Driven Security
Organizations understand that secure by design principles are only successfully implemented through developer driven security. After all, developers are the ones designing, building, and ultimately committing the code that powers an organization's software. Ensuring that these invaluable contributors have the knowledge and skills to implement secure code best practices is absolutely critical. However, the challenge of implementing this often comes down to aligning developer secure code knowledge and skills with the programming languages they use when building software.
This challenge is further complicated by the sheer volume and mix of programming languages that are being used in an organization’s codebase, often completely unbeknownst to security teams. So how do CISOs, AppSec and Engineering leaders ensure that the code that is being produced and committed is backed by a developer’s secure code knowledge and skills in that commit’s specific programming language?
Introducing SCW Trust Agent
Secure Code Warrior has launched SCW Trust Agent to answer this difficult question. SCW Trust Agent gives security leaders the visibility and control needed to scale developer driven security, empowering developers and teams to deliver code faster while maintaining and improving the security of what is committed.
How Does SCW Trust Agent Work?
SCW Trust Agent connects to your code repository to assess the metadata of every code commit. It inspects the developer that made the commit, the programming languages in use, and the exact timestamp when the code was shipped. It then pairs this analysis alongside data and insights from SCW’s agile learning platform to determine if the developer has sufficient security knowledge in that specific programming language. Based on this information, it returns a rating on the health of that commit in accordance with your policy configuration. These policies are customizable and configurable by Admin users, who can set specific guidelines and requirements for commits that can have a higher or lower threshold of requirements based on that project or repository’s overall sensitivity.
Strengthening Your Security Posture
Having this visibility and customizable control not only gives an organization insight into overall commit health across all of its repositories, but also the tools it needs to strengthen its security posture, mitigating risk by taking a proactive approach. SCW Trust Agent looks to ensure that developers are knowledgeable and skilled in the security implications of the specific coding language they are using when going to make a commit. This assurance reduces the likelihood of inadvertently introducing a vulnerability into the code that could be exploited.
Optimizing The Development Lifecycle
This proactive approach not only improves an organization’s overall security posture, but also can also drive new optimizations in the development lifecycle. By ensuring developers have secure code knowledge and skills in the language of their commit, the number of introduced vulnerabilities that would later need to be identified and remediated are reduced. Remediation and rework tend to be large time drain for developers, often interrupting their workflow and impacting their velocity. Reducing vulnerabilities through a proactive approach minimizes these remediation cycles keeping development teams focused on delivery of high value code and capabilities.
Scaling Developer Driven Security
SCW Trust Agent gives organizations the tools they need to scale their developer driven security programs. CISOs and Appsec teams have the visibility and control they need to apply proper governance, meet and even exceed compliance standards with detailed insights into policy design, application and adherence. And developers are empowered to deliver secure code faster with secure code training that is specific to the languages they utilize in the code that they deliver.
SCW Trust Agent works with any Git-based source code management tool and connecting your code repository is easy with multiple connectivity options including on-premises, cloud based, and manual upload.
