Named in two categories in the same report

Secure Code Warrior is recognized in two categories — Agentic Coding Security and Secure Coding Training. We feel Together they tell a single story: as AI agents take over more of the development
process, the skills your developers need and the governance your organization demands have never mattered more. SCW delivers both.

Why this matters to us

  • Agentic development is reshaping enterprise security
    AI coding agents are generating and deploying code at speeds that overwhelm traditional application security practices. We feel Gartner identifies this as a transformational shift — not a future risk, but a present one.
  • Governance is the missing layer Organizations can adopt AI development tools or govern them — but most can't do both. SCW bridges that gap: enabling AI-driven development while maintaining visibility, guardrails, and accountability.
  • AI is making developer security skills more critical, not less
    In the 2026 Gartner Software Engineering Survey, 68% of software engineering leaders stated that application security is highly important to deliver software that meets current goals and requirements. Secure coding skills are often missing from general software engineering education, and what is considered secure code is a moving target. In our view that's why SCW is also named in the Secure Coding Training category: developer capability isn't optional, it's the foundation everything else is built on.
  • You need a vendor built for this moment — not retrofitted for it
    SCW was purpose-built for AI-driven development. Not bolted together from legacy tools. Your teams get training, governance, and traceability that moves at the speed of AI — from a vendor analysts say belongs in this space.

What Gartner Says

Agentic Coding Security

"Agentic coding is fundamentally reshaping enterprise software development by accelerating software creation and delivery, and enabling innovation, even as it introduces substantial cybersecurity risks."

Hype Cycle for Secure Software Engineering, 2026
Secure Coding Training

"AI coding tools like Anthropic Claude and GitHub Copilot are making secure coding skills more important than ever to ensure the security of AI-generated code."
