Insights from experts shaping secure development

The perception of what constitutes the act of secure coding is up for debate. According to recent research in collaboration with Evans Data, this sentiment was revealed in black and white. The State of Developer-Driven Security 2022 survey delves into the key insights and experiences of 1200 active developers, illuminating their attitudes and challenges in the security realm.

This week, we officially celebrate eight years of Secure Code Warrior. On the one hand, that’s 350 times the length of the Apollo 11 mission, as well as the equivalent of 45,000 games of football, or playing Super Mario Odyssey 5696 times to the end. On the other, it’s just one-thirtieth the lifespan of a Giant Tortoise (250 years, if you’re wondering). In the world of a high-growth startup, it represents a journey of many twists, turns, lessons, and accomplishments, many of which were unimaginable when we were first inking our business plan.

Here at Secure Code Warrior, we’re constantly innovating to help equip developers and organizations with the right skills to tackle today’s ever changing security challenges. We’ve compiled the top features and updates to our platform, as well as the resources and guidelines published this year, to help your organization secure your software through developer-driven security at the start of the software development cycle.

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.

The emergence of agentic AI marks a structural shift in software development, introducing systems that not only accelerate production cycles but also perform autonomous reasoning and action beyond direct human control.

As AI-generated code becomes commonplace, CISOs need new audit strategies to measure developer practices, govern AI tool usage, and identify software risks before they reach production.

According to a recent survey, more than seven in ten developers who have used AI coding tools report relying on them on a daily basis. However, many organisations still lack clear visibility into how these tools are influencing production code, creating governance gaps at a time when demand is accelerating and delivery timelines are tightening.
