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.

Developers have long struggled to truly claim a seat at the table in traditional threat modeling programs, but with the right skills, they have the opportunity to wield AI responsibly to seriously cut risk and rework in their codebase.

AI-generated code may be “made by machine”, but taking a cookie-cutter approach to securing that code would fall well short of mitigating the vulnerabilities LLMs can introduce. Organizations need to establish precise security reviews, with human developers anchoring the process to implement effective security controls while also managing the specific coding temperament of each LLM used. AI-generated code must undergo the same personalized risk assessments as code written by human developers.

s artificial intelligence (AI) tools become more widely used in the software development process, their impact on security is becoming clearer. According to recent research, nearly 70% of organisations have discovered vulnerabilities caused by AI tools while one in five have experienced a serious incident as a result of those vulnerabilities.
