Insights from experts shaping secure development

Le développement assisté par l'IA n'est plus à l'horizon : il est là, et il redéfinit rapidement la façon dont les logiciels sont écrits. Des outils tels que GitHub Copilot, Cline, Roo, Cursor, Aider et Windsurf transforment les développeurs en leurs propres copilotes, permettant des itérations plus rapides et accélérant tout, du prototypage aux grands projets de refactoring.

When reflecting on our own technology, SCW’s Developer Risk Management platform, I am buoyed by recent metrics from one of our core enterprise clients, and going down the proverbial rabbit hole into this data tells a tale of a high-adoption, potent Secure by Design initiative that has been proven to considerably reduce risk in their organization.

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.

Frequent flyer and other points-based programs reward people who remain loyal to particular brands or organisations. The programs issue points to participants who can use them for discounts or purchases in the future. Some airline programs also reward loyal customers with perks such as priority boarding and lounge access. It’s becoming clear that the software development industry could use something similar, especially when it comes to ensuring a ‘security first’ mindset among developers.

It’s highly likely that AI-assisted development will become even more of a norm in the near future. Organisations will, therefore, have to establish policies and best practices to effectively manage it, just as they’ve done with cloud deployments, Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), and other tech-in-the-workplace trends.
