The concept of “shifting left” has been part of the cybersecurity industry discourse since the early 2000s. First rising to prominence as part of evolving Agile, followed by DevOps, development methodologies, the looming threat of large-scale cyberattacks necessitated a defense strategy as the world’s digital footprint grew.
Still, approaching twenty years after the “shift left” movement promised to revolutionize secure software delivery, we still face a deluge of insecure code, low levels of organizational security awareness, and subsequent cybercrime that escalates in volume and potency year-on-year. By 2025, it is estimated that cyberattacks will cost the world $10.5 trillion USD annually.
An ever-widening cybersecurity skills chasm has ensured we have been low on experienced security personnel for quite some time, and despite being a critical pain point for most security leaders and CISOs, we simply cannot afford to wait patiently for a miracle change in circumstance. The current approach is flawed, and we need to revitalize and utilize the resources we have right in front of us, and truly, relief is possible in the form of security-skilled developers.
In this white paper, security expert and Secure Code Warrior CTO & Co-Founder Matias Madou, Ph.D. will discuss:
- The six pillars you need to roll out effective security education and enablement for your development cohort.
- Lessons learned from ten executives implementing security programs at the enterprise level.
- Common pitfalls to avoid on your road to success.
