Insights from experts shaping secure development

KI-gestützte Entwicklung ist nicht mehr in Sicht — sie ist da und verändert rasant die Art und Weise, wie Software geschrieben wird. Tools wie GitHub Copilot, Cline, Roo, Cursor, Aider und Windsurf machen Entwickler zu eigenen Co-Piloten, ermöglichen eine schnellere Iteration und beschleunigen alles, vom Prototyping bis hin zu großen Refactoring-Projekten.

When reflecting on our own technology, SCW’s Developer Risk Management platform, I am buoyed by recent metrics from one of our core enterprise clients, and going down the proverbial rabbit hole into this data tells a tale of a high-adoption, potent Secure by Design initiative that has been proven to considerably reduce risk in their organization.

Secure Code Warrior freut sich, unsere neue Integration mit HackerOne, einem führenden Anbieter von offensiven Sicherheitslösungen, bekannt zu geben. Gemeinsam bauen wir ein leistungsstarkes, integriertes Ökosystem auf. HackerOne lokalisiert, wo Sicherheitslücken in realen Umgebungen tatsächlich auftreten, und deckt das „Was“ und „Wo“ von Sicherheitsproblemen auf.

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.

The emergence of agentic AI marks a structural shift in software development, introducing systems that not only accelerate production cycles but also perform autonomous reasoning and action beyond direct human control.

As AI-generated code becomes commonplace, CISOs need new audit strategies to measure developer practices, govern AI tool usage, and identify software risks before they reach production.

This category has taken on new urgency in 2026 for a reason that’s specific to this moment: AI coding tools and agents are dramatically increasing how much code gets written and how often it needs to be deployed, tested, and provisioned for. Platform engineering is the layer that determines whether that increased velocity translates into shipped value or into chaos.

Secure Code Warrior content available through KnowBe4 helps technical teams build secure coding and AI governance awareness through structured learning covering OWASP Top 10 risks, AI-assisted development, and modern secure coding practices.

Secure Code Warrior joins KnowBe4 to bring hands-on secure coding training into security awareness programs — covering OWASP, AI development, and 10 languages.

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.
