Your handbook to developer-driven security and agile learning
DevOps and security professionals have to adapt to the evolving cybersecurity landscape, and the industry’s approach to upskilling developers needs to evolve with it.
We now know that developers are shipping code faster than ever before. This introduces new risks, as security is often deprioritized to meet tight deadlines and market demand.
Modern organizations employ developer-driven security using agile learning principles. This fast and flexible approach enables developers to quickly internalize secure coding techniques that they can apply right away.
Secure Code Warrior teaches developers how to identify, avoid, and fix vulnerabilities as they code. Our agile learning platform for secure coding gives developers the freedom to learn in their preferred way, with the most complete and reliable vulnerability content in the industry today.
By integrating agile secure code learning with modern software delivery, developers can effectively learn, apply, and retain software security principles throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
In this ebook, you will learn how to:
- Align agile learning principles to the DevSecOps delivery method and shift security to the start of the software development lifecycle.
- Understand the stages of security maturity to establish a baseline for your agile secure code learning approach.
- Leverage the recommendations and key actions from security experts at SCW and from SCW customers.


Start shifting left with developer-driven security. This handbook will show you how to engage with developers to upskill and increase their security knowledge, as well as how to go about measuring impact to write more secure code.

Secure Code Warrior is here for your organization to help you secure code across the entire software development lifecycle and create a culture in which cybersecurity is top of mind. Whether you’re an AppSec Manager, Developer, CISO, or anyone involved in security, we can help your organization reduce risks associated with insecure code.
