Insights from experts shaping secure development

The recently released National Cybersecurity Strategy signals the need for a seismic cultural shift for most companies, with the most glaring recommendation coming in the form of security accountability falling primarily on software vendors. This is a positive step, though it is sure to cause teething problems, especially as many organizations struggle to accurately assess their security maturity across the board, particularly among the development cohort.

Erfahren Sie, wie eine agile Lernplattform für sicheren Code in die Workflows und Tools von Entwicklern eingebettet werden kann, und beginnen Sie, eine Kultur des sicheren Code-Lernens aufzubauen.

Anfang dieses Jahres veröffentlichte der PCI Security Standards Council Version 4.0 seines Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS). Zwar müssen Unternehmen erst im März 2025 die Anforderungen von 4.0 vollständig erfüllen, doch dieses Update ist das bisher umfassendste Update, das die meisten Unternehmen dazu zwingt, komplexe Sicherheitsprozesse und Elemente ihres Tech-Stacks zu überprüfen (und wahrscheinlich zu aktualisieren). Dies gilt zusätzlich zur Implementierung von rollenbasierten Schulungen zum Sicherheitsbewusstsein und regelmäßigen Schulungen zur sicheren Programmierung für Entwickler.

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.
