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.

CISA’s Secure-by-Design guidelines are gaining traction as a higher standard for software vendors to achieve, while updates from NIST, PCI and the EU-wide NIS2 Directive are having a global impact on many enterprise companies. Smart CISOs are utilizing their full team potential through role-based upskilling and especially enabling the development cohort to take pressure off the AppSec team by honing their security prowess on an ongoing basis.

LLMs struggle to generate consistently secure code. Security-skilled developers can help ensure secure AI-generated code while optimising performance. Pieter Danhieux at Secure Code Warrior explores a CISO’s role in AI-powered coding.

Ultimately, there is no replacement for an intuitive, security-focused developer working with the critical thinking required to drive down the risk of both AI and human error.
