Insights from experts shaping secure development

Enabler 1 kicks off our 10-part Enablers of Success series by showing how to link secure coding to business outcomes like risk reduction and velocity for long-term program maturity.

2025 was a big year for AI, for cybersecurity, and for SCW. I’m approaching 2026 with quiet confidence, and the optimism that only hard work paying off can bring.

Secure Code Warrior’s 10 Enablers guide organizations in building lasting secure coding programs by focusing on people, process, and program maturity stages.

Kamer van Koophandel shares how it embedded secure coding into everyday development through role-based certifications, Trust Score benchmarking, and a culture of shared security ownership.

See how Paysafe's partnership with Secure Code Warrior led to a 45% boost in developer productivity and a major reduction in code vulnerabilities.

DigitalOcean's use of Secure Code Warrior training has significantly reduced security debt, allowing teams to focus more on innovation and productivity. The improved security has strengthened their product quality and competitive edge. Looking ahead, the SCW Trust Score will help them further enhance security practices and continue driving innovation.

Developers must view AI as a collaborator to be closely monitored, rather than an autonomous entity to be unleashed. Without such a mindset, crippling tech debt is inevitable.

From technical compromise to AI-driven attacks, cyber criminals increasingly see software developers as prime targets, creating systemic risks CISOs must address.

It’s Online Privacy Week, a time of year where individuals and organisations are all reminded to check their digital footprint(s). Some might say that’s a futile gesture at a time where major social media and marketing players know absolutely everything about you and are cheerfully selling all that data to anyone who’ll buy it; when Microsoft is performing every trick in the book to get Windows users to put all their data in the cloud where it’s available for government agencies to snoop upon without letting you know; when a personal computer crisis means many people will be moved on to dumb-client computing landscape where everything from data storage to major processing tasks will be taking place in the cloud; and when people think that clicking ‘Accept’ on website pop-ups does something that meaningfully protects them. But, what do the experts say?

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.
