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.

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.

Shadow AI — the use of unapproved AI apps by workers — has been a problem since generative AI burst onto the scene. The temptation to get ChatGPT to do all of your work might override any thoughts about sending confidential or private data over to a third party.

Financial services are among the most attacked sectors of any industry, making it critical that developers operate at the highest level to produce secure code.

For years, many CISOs have struggled to educate their developers about the importance of putting security first. They’ve also been working to control an increasingly complex threat landscape and spiralling attack surface, all while navigating a security skills shortage. They need a new approach that helps to uplift the security culture organisation-wide while ensuring AppSec professionals and developers alike have what they need to drive down vulnerabilities and risks.
