Insights from experts shaping secure development

Injection-Angriffe, der berüchtigte König der Sicherheitslücken (nach Kategorien), haben den ersten Platz verloren, weil die Zugriffskontrolle als schlimmste der schlimmsten Bedrohungen gilt, und Entwickler müssen dies zur Kenntnis nehmen.

Entwickler gehören neben Sicherheitskonfigurationen und Zugriffskontrolle zu denjenigen, die mit Code am nächsten kommen. Ihre Sicherheitskompetenzen müssen gefördert werden, und um die vom NIST festgelegten hohen Standards zu erreichen, könnte eine praxisorientierte Kursstruktur genau der richtige Weg sein, um das Problem anzugehen, insbesondere bei großen Entwicklungskohorten.

Ähnlich wie bei webbasierter Software, APIs und Mobilgeräten kann anfälliger Code in eingebetteten Systemen ausgenutzt werden, wenn er von einem Angreifer in freier Wildbahn entdeckt wird.

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.
