Insights from experts shaping secure development

The recently released National Cybersecurity Strategy signals the need for a seismic cultural shift for most companies, with the most glaring recommendation coming in the form of security accountability falling primarily on software vendors. This is a positive step, though it is sure to cause teething problems, especially as many organizations struggle to accurately assess their security maturity across the board, particularly among the development cohort.

Découvrez comment une plateforme d'apprentissage agile pour le code sécurisé peut être intégrée aux flux de travail et aux outils des développeurs, et commencez à créer une culture d'apprentissage du code sécurisé.

Plus tôt cette année, le Conseil des normes de sécurité PCI a dévoilé la version 4.0 de sa norme de sécurité des données de l'industrie des cartes de paiement (PCI DSS). Les entreprises n'auront pas besoin d'être entièrement conformes à la version 4.0 avant mars 2025, mais cette mise à jour est la plus transformatrice à ce jour et obligera la plupart des entreprises à évaluer (et probablement à mettre à niveau) des processus de sécurité complexes et des éléments de leur infrastructure technologique. Cela s'ajoute à la mise en œuvre d'une formation de sensibilisation à la sécurité basée sur les rôles et d'une formation régulière au codage sécurisé pour les développeurs.

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.

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.

While it’s early into 2026, we’re seeing new research that reveals the extent of cyber risks caused by artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted software development: Nearly 7 in 10 organizations have discovered vulnerabilities introduced by AI-generated code, and 1 in 5 have suffered a serious incident tied directly to the vulnerabilities.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly become indispensable to modern software development. From large language models that generate code on demand to agentic systems that automate entire workflows, AI tools promise dramatic gains in productivity and efficiency.
