Insights from experts shaping secure development

The idea of bringing preventive security to legacy code and systems at the same time as newer applications can seem daunting, but a Secure-by-Design approach, enforced by upskilling developers, can apply security best practices to those systems. It’s the best chance many organizations have of improving their security postures.

L'attention croissante portée au code sécurisé et aux principes de sécurité dès la conception nécessite que les développeurs soient formés à la cybersécurité dès le début du SDLC, avec des outils tels que le Trust Score de Secure Code Warrior qui permettent de mesurer et d'améliorer leurs progrès.

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.

In the ever-changing landscape of cybersecurity, experts are increasingly advocating for Secure-by-Design principles to address the accelerating challenges of today’s digital world. The concept emphasises embedding security into software from the beginning of the development process in a shift that reflects a significant maturation of the cybersecurity industry.

With a security-first culture fully in play, developers will view the protected deployment of AI as a marketable skill, and respond accordingly.

Organisations are facing tough decisions on AI usage to support long-term productivity, sustainability, and security ROI.It's become clear to us over the last few years that AI will never fully replace the role of the developer. From AI + developer partnerships to the increasing pressures (and confusion) around Secure-by-Design expectations, here's what we can expect over the next year.
