Why the industry needs to upskill its existing staff

​The cybersecurity industry, which has been advocating for “security by design” principles for more than a decade, stands in wide-eyed amazement at the risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI). As organizations rush to embrace AI enablement, a CISO’s most pressing priority is to avoid becoming a roadblock. However, without effective AI usage and governance, observability and traceability, organizations may be blindsided by their AI risk.​

Secure Code Warrior has introduced the SCW AI Adoption Model, a framework designed to help organisations govern AI use in software development as the industry shifts from the traditional software development lifecycle (SDLC) toward what the company calls the Agentic Development Lifecycle (ADLC).

With many software engineering teams moving from AI coding assistants into full agentic AI code generation and increasing the amount of code they produce exponentially, ensuring the security of that code must be a top priority. The study produces practical guidance for organizations that are getting on board the AI-assisted or agentic code development train.
