Insights from experts shaping secure development

Micha Martinez est analyste en cybersécurité et directeur de la photographie chez Nelnet. Lorsqu'il a été chargé de créer un programme de formation pour les développeurs sur le codage sécurisé, il a adopté des moyens créatifs pour impliquer son équipe. Nous avons été tellement impressionnés par la façon dont il gère son programme de formation au code sécurisé que nous nous sommes entretenus avec lui pour en savoir plus.

Les attaques par injection, tristement célèbre roi des vulnérabilités (par catégorie), ont perdu la première place au profit d'une violation du contrôle d'accès, en tant que pire des pires, et les développeurs doivent en tenir compte.

Les développeurs font partie de ceux qui maîtrisent le mieux le code, en plus des configurations de sécurité et du contrôle d'accès. Leurs compétences en matière de sécurité doivent être renforcées, et pour atteindre les normes élevées définies par le NIST, une structure de cours pratique pourrait bien être le moyen le plus efficace d'y remédier, en particulier pour les grandes cohortes de développement.

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 Federal Government’s recent mandate, PSPF Direction 002-2024, aims to significantly bolster cybersecurity measures within Australian Government entities by requiring them to identify and actively manage risks tied to vulnerable technologies. The announcement has sparked reactions from key figures in the cybersecurity industry, who have shared their insights on its implications and potential impacts.

CISA’s Secure by Design movement has gained significant momentum, with governments around the world—like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Germany and the U.K.—contributing to its creation or following it directly as part of their own publicized cybersecurity strategies.

Developers, it appears, will not be replaced by artificial intelligence – at least not yet, anyway. What they will need to do is learn or improve their skills in providing templates for AI, become masters of fixing problems in AI-generated code, and actually learn the best uses for AI in software development.

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.
