How DigitalOcean Reduced Software Security Debt and Pushed the Boundaries of Productivity
Reducing security debt is something that all companies strive to achieve. How does one minimize the amount of security vulnerabilities? How does one speed up time to market while ensuring that the code being generated is top notch?
Like many companies, DigitalOcean chose Secure Code Warrior to drive digital innovation and modernization by building and releasing quality code from the start with security-aware developers.
DigitalOcean, which offers scalable computing resources and a suite of cloud solutions that enable developers to deploy, manage, and scale applications effortlessly, turned to Secure Code Warrior as the company expanded and grew its engineering teams. In the fast-paced technology industry, the company needed to ensure their developers could identify common poor coding patterns that arose in design reviews so that they could proactively prevent them from recurring.
As Ari Kalfus, senior manager of product security noted, “We needed a solution that was developer-specific, hands-on, and focused on the risks that our organization was facing.” Secure Code Warrior delivered on this, with one of the most notable outcomes being the ability to quickly and regularly reinforce secure coding practices. This led to a marked decrease in security debt across teams. Overall, DigitalOcean has found that teams trained with SCW were not only more adept at identifying and mitigating security issues, but they also now have the confidence to push the boundaries of innovation without compromising security.
