Insights from experts shaping secure development

Organizations 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, let’s take a closer look at what we can expect over the next year.

Stay ahead in securing LLM applications with the latest OWASP Top 10 updates. Discover what's new, what’s changed, and how Secure Code Warrior equips you with up-to-date learning resources to mitigate risks in Generative AI.

Our research has shown that secure code training works. Trust Score, using an algorithm drawing on more than 20 million learning data points from work by more than 250,000 learners at over 600 organizations, reveals its effectiveness in driving down vulnerabilities and how to make the initiative even more effective.

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.

Developers have long struggled to truly claim a seat at the table in traditional threat modeling programs, but with the right skills, they have the opportunity to wield AI responsibly to seriously cut risk and rework in their codebase.

AI-generated code may be “made by machine”, but taking a cookie-cutter approach to securing that code would fall well short of mitigating the vulnerabilities LLMs can introduce. Organizations need to establish precise security reviews, with human developers anchoring the process to implement effective security controls while also managing the specific coding temperament of each LLM used. AI-generated code must undergo the same personalized risk assessments as code written by human developers.

s artificial intelligence (AI) tools become more widely used in the software development process, their impact on security is becoming clearer. According to recent research, nearly 70% of organisations have discovered vulnerabilities caused by AI tools while one in five have experienced a serious incident as a result of those vulnerabilities.

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.
