Insights from experts shaping secure development

En ciberseguridad, a menudo somos como cazadores. Nuestros ojos están fijos en el horizonte, buscando la próxima vulnerabilidad emergente. Sin embargo, este enfoque orientado hacia el futuro puede tener el sorprendente efecto de reducir nuestra conciencia general sobre la seguridad.

Es común que los sitios web y las aplicaciones permitan a los usuarios enviar comentarios y otros datos a través de una aplicación mediante el correo electrónico. Y la mayoría de las personas ni siquiera piensan en ello en términos de un posible riesgo de seguridad.

Una referencia directa a un objeto se produce cuando se hace referencia a un registro específico (el «objeto») dentro de una aplicación. Por lo general, adopta la forma de un identificador único y puede aparecer en una URL.

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-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.

According to research company Forrester[1], the tech debt for 75% of organisations will increase to a moderate or high level during this year, due to the rapid expansion of AI usage across a range of areas including software development.
