Insights from experts shaping secure development

Earlier this year, the PCI Security Standards Council revealed version 4.0 of their Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). While organizations won’t need to be fully compliant with 4.0 until March 2025, this update is their most transformative to date, and will require most businesses to assess (and likely upgrade) complex security processes, and elements of their tech stack. This is in addition to implementing role-based security awareness training and regular secure coding education for developers.

Learn how an agile learning platform for secure code upskills developers, reduces risk, and lowers technical debt over time by starting left in the SDLC.

By helping define the responsibilities of our apps and software within a tight hierarchy, and enforcing those policies with least privilege, we can make sure that our apps and software also survive and thrive despite the threat landscape arrayed against them.

In this case study, learn how Thales has developed people, process, and technology approaches for an agile secure code learning program in order to engage developers to become active security champions.

Learn how Derek Fisher, Head of Product Security at Envestnet and the author of “The Application Security Handbook”, worked with Secure Code Warrior to develop a holistic approach to reduce vulnerabilities through agile secure code enablement for his developer teams.

Discover how retail giant Colgate-Palmolive reshaped its application security during its digital transformation journey. Facing challenges in secure coding, they innovated their approach by integrating bite-sized, in-context learning into the developer workflow.

According to a recent report from Gartner, the rampant use of shadow AI and rogue automation is further fueling the proliferation of AI vulnerabilities. Gartner notes that 32% of IT workers using generative AI tools at work say they keep them hidden from cybersecurity teams. Combined with low-code/no-code platforms and vibe coding practices, the AI copilots are greatly expanding the enterprise attack surface.

For this article, we asked a central question for security and risk leaders: "What differentiates a policy that genuinely mitigates enterprise risk from one that exists primarily to demonstrate that the organization has acknowledged AI risk?"

Secure Code Warrior's Pieter Danhieux on Managing AI-Driven Development Risks

AI is writing code. Who’s governing it? With up to 50% of AI-generated code containing security weaknesses, managing AI risk is critical. Discover how SCW's Trust Agent: AI provides the real-time visibility, proactive governance, and targeted upskilling needed to scale AI-driven development securely.

OpenText Application Security and Secure Code Warrior combine vulnerability detection with AI Software Governance and developer capability. Together, they help organizations reduce risk, strengthen secure coding practices, and confidently adopt AI-driven development.

Secure Code Warrior is an AI Software Governance platform designed to enable organizations to safely adopt AI-driven development by bridging the gap between development velocity and enterprise security. The platform addresses the "Visibility Gap," where security teams often lack insights into shadow AI coding tools and the origins of production code.
