Insights from experts shaping secure development

En un mundo en el que las ciberamenazas siguen multiplicándose, ¿sus programadores están dando un paso adelante? ¿Está el elemento humano de la codificación segura (el desarrollador más importante) preparado para desempeñar su papel a la hora de proteger nuestro mundo conectado? Para responder a esta pregunta, analicemos algunas ideas de un estudio reciente sobre las actitudes de los desarrolladores hacia la codificación segura, las prácticas de código seguro y las operaciones de seguridad, realizado por Secure Code Warrior con Evans Data Corp.

Las mismas 10 vulnerabilidades de software han causado más brechas de seguridad en los últimos 20 años que cualquier otra. Sin embargo, muchas empresas siguen optando por la reparación posterior a la violación y al suceso, lo que les permite sortear las ramificaciones humanas y empresariales de todo esto. Pero ahora, un nuevo estudio de investigación apunta a una nueva dirección dirigida por el ser humano.

La inyección SQL cumple 22 años y, a pesar de que esta vulnerabilidad tiene la edad suficiente para beber, dejamos que se apodere de nosotros en lugar de aplastarla para siempre.

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 doomsayers are, so far, losing the argument. The panic around AI replacing humans has been countered with a new narrative: “Let AI redefine your job rather than replace it.” According to a recent survey from Stack Overflow, 44% of developers are either using or planning to use AI tools—even though just 3% “highly trust” the accuracy of the results. Twice as many (6%) say they highly mistrust AI due to security concerns and inaccuracy.

While it’s true that AI can help save some time for overworked programmers, the future will likely be one where humans and AI work together, with trained personnel in charge of applying critical thinking and precision skills to ensure all code is as secure as possible.

CISA’s Secure-By-Design guidelines, which call for shifting the responsibility for secure coding back to those making the devices, software and applications people increasingly rely on, and trust with sensitive data. The program defines what many frustrated technology users already know, that the industry needs a new model for cybersecurity in which vulnerabilities are fixed long before they reach the public.

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.
