Insights from experts shaping secure development

Micha Martinez es analista de ciberseguridad y director de fotografía en Nelnet. Cuando se le encomendó la tarea de crear un programa de formación para desarrolladores en torno a la codificación segura, adoptó formas creativas de involucrar a su equipo. Quedamos tan impresionados con la forma en que dirige su programa de formación sobre código seguro que nos reunimos con él para obtener más información.

Los ataques por inyección, el infame rey de las vulnerabilidades (por categoría), han perdido el primer puesto ante la interrupción del control de acceso como lo peor de lo peor, y los desarrolladores deben tomar nota.

Los desarrolladores se encuentran entre los que conocen más de cerca el código, además de las configuraciones de seguridad y el control de acceso. Hay que fomentar sus habilidades en materia de seguridad y, para alcanzar los altos estándares descritos por el NIST, una estructura de cursos prácticos podría ser la forma más eficaz de abordarla, especialmente en el caso de grupos de desarrolladores grandes.

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.

The Federal Government’s recent mandate, PSPF Direction 002-2024, aims to significantly bolster cybersecurity measures within Australian Government entities by requiring them to identify and actively manage risks tied to vulnerable technologies. The announcement has sparked reactions from key figures in the cybersecurity industry, who have shared their insights on its implications and potential impacts.

CISA’s Secure by Design movement has gained significant momentum, with governments around the world—like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Germany and the U.K.—contributing to its creation or following it directly as part of their own publicized cybersecurity strategies.

Developers, it appears, will not be replaced by artificial intelligence – at least not yet, anyway. What they will need to do is learn or improve their skills in providing templates for AI, become masters of fixing problems in AI-generated code, and actually learn the best uses for AI in software development.

See how 16 leading AI models actually code, scored across 11 real-world frameworks and 1,760 codebases — the framework matters as much as the model.
