Take Control of Developer-Introduced Cybersecurity Risk

The demand for rapid application development and deployment is higher than ever. AI is accelerating code production, but this also increases bugs, security flaws, technical debt, and threat landscape complexity. There's a critical need for enhanced focus on security and managing risk throughout the software development lifecycle.Secure Code Warrior enables CISOs, AppSec teams, and VPs of Application Security to proactively measure, manage and mitigate developer security risk and ensure that critical applications and software have the right security fundamentals for the present and future including:

  • Applying secure architectures and design principles
  • Equipping AI-assisted developers with adequate security knowledge
  • Efficiently and effectively addressing code vulnerabilities

Security-First Development Culture, Made Easy

FAQs

Things to know about developer risk management

What is Developer Risk Management?

Developer Risk Management is a holistic and proactive approach to application security, focused on code contributors rather than within the bits and bytes of the application layer itself. 

The philosophy behind Developer Risk Management is that, through upskilling code contributors in a programmatic way, it exponentially increases the benefits and impact of secure code initiatives, leading to faster but more secure releases and significantly lowering potential cybersecurity risk.

Are you able to help me address my compliance requirements?

Yes! 

Secure Code Warrior’s Developer Risk Management Platform provides the necessary relevant training materials needed, like content around the OWASP Top 10, to meet annual security training requirements for developers focused on secure coding techniques and a security-aware development workforce for compliance regulations like PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA.

Is Developer Risk Management similar to Secure by Design?

The concept of Developer Risk Management is closely related to guidelines surrounding Secure by Design and other Shift Left-type regulations being implemented worldwide.

While policy continues to evolve around setting guidelines and standards for software security, in practice, we have seen that this could be interpreted in a number of different ways. 

Developer Risk Management is a practical approach to improving security posture whether related to initiatives around a Secure-by-Design pledge, some other governing force, or just a desire to enhance customer confidence to gain a competitive edge.

What kind of impact does managing developer risk have on my organization?

Many Secure Code Warrior customers have seen a significant impact across their organization when adopting a more proactive approach to managing developer risk. Including reducing vulnerabilities by up to 53%, accelerating development through improving MTTR by 3x, improving harmony between security and engineering teams, providing growth opportunities to developers, helping retain them, and fostering greater customer confidence and loyalty.

Reactive Versus Preventive Security: Prevention Is a Better Cure

The idea of bringing preventive security to legacy code and systems at the same time as newer applications can seem daunting, but a Secure-by-Design approach, enforced by upskilling developers, can apply security best practices to those systems. It’s the best chance many organizations have of improving their security postures.
