Insights from experts shaping secure development

Zurzeit sind nur 15 Prozent der Entwickler der Meinung, dass jeder für sichere Codepraktiken verantwortlich sein sollte. In einer Welt zunehmender Sicherheitsbedrohungen reicht das einfach nicht aus. Es muss etwas getan werden. Ein Schlüssel zur Schaffung einer gesunden AppSec-Kultur ist das Verständnis der wichtigsten Einflüsse (und Influencer!) im Spiel.

Wir müssen einen von Menschen geleiteten Ansatz für bewährte Cybersicherheitsmethoden stärken, und das wird zu besseren Ergebnissen führen, als wenn wir uns stark auf Automatisierung, Tools und Reaktionen auf Probleme verlassen, die bereits eingebettet und entdeckt wurden.

Unsicherer Code kostet Unternehmen Millionen — was ist also die Einführung sicherer Codierungspraktiken im Weg? In einer Welt, die fast alles auf Software angewiesen ist, ist es von wesentlicher Bedeutung, sicherzustellen, dass der Code sicher ist. The call of the market and the financial rentability has from. Aber es gibt viele Bedenken in Bezug auf sichere Codierung — und viele Hindernisse stehen ihrer vollständigen und effektiven Einführung im Weg. More as you before is an new work process required.

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.

AI is now a key piece of modern software development. More than four out of five developers use AI coding tools daily or weekly – with many relying on multiple tools in parallel. Teams must understand where automation ends, and where accountability begins.

Secure code should be grounded more in concepts like secure by default and secure by design than by “spot the vuln” thinking. Matias Madou shares his experience in secure coding training and the importance of teaching critical thinking. He also discusses why critical thinking is so closely related to threat modeling and how LLMs can be a tool for helping developers get beyond the superficial advice of, “Think like an attacker.”

Organizations are at an inflection point driven by the explosive adoption of AI, which promises significant changes in how businesses operate. That leaves CISOs on unsteady ground. As the gatekeepers of their organization’s data and access, they must ensure the security of the enterprise. However, the prospects of a headlong charge into wide-ranging, and possibly unchecked, use of AI could create a flood of security issues that many CISOs, under their current organizational structures, aren’t equipped to handle.
