Insights from experts shaping secure development

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is critical for protecting data from quantum computing threats. Learn how “harvest now, decrypt later” exposes risk and how developers can prepare for quantum-safe security.

While development teams look to make the most of GenAI’s undeniable benefits, we’d like to propose a four-point foundational framework that will allow security leaders to deploy AI coding tools and agents with a higher, more relevant standard of security best practices. It details exactly what enterprises can do to ensure safe, secure code development right now, and as agentic AI becomes an even bigger factor in the future.

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.

To deploy AI tools securely and ethically, teams must balance innovation with accountability—establishing strong governance, upskilling developers, and enforcing rigorous code reviews.

To write secure code with LLMs developers must have the skills to use AI as a collaborative assistant rather than an autonomous tool, Madou argues.

Secure Code Warrior’s Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, and Co-Founder Pieter Danhieux explains his transition from offensive cybersecurity to promoting secure software development. Founded in 2015, Secure Code Warrior aims to help developers build secure code from the start, a practice Danhieux and host Alan Shimel agree is more effective than fixing vulnerabilities later. The two also discuss the impact of AI on software development, noting that while AI increases coding speed and accessibility for more people, the security of AI-generated code still lags. They emphasize the growing need for developers to master secure coding practices amidst these technological advancements.

AI is writing code. Who’s governing it? With up to 50% of AI-generated code containing security weaknesses, managing AI risk is critical. Discover how SCW's Trust Agent: AI provides the real-time visibility, proactive governance, and targeted upskilling needed to scale AI-driven development securely.

OpenText Application Security and Secure Code Warrior combine vulnerability detection with AI Software Governance and developer capability. Together, they help organizations reduce risk, strengthen secure coding practices, and confidently adopt AI-driven development.

Secure Code Warrior is an AI Software Governance platform designed to enable organizations to safely adopt AI-driven development by bridging the gap between development velocity and enterprise security. The platform addresses the "Visibility Gap," where security teams often lack insights into shadow AI coding tools and the origins of production code.
