Insights from experts shaping secure development

AI-assisted development is no longer on the horizon — it’s here, and it’s rapidly reshaping how software is written. Tools like GitHub Copilot, Cline, Roo, Cursor, Aider, and Windsurf are transforming developers into co-pilots of their own, enabling faster iteration and accelerating everything from prototyping to major refactoring projects.

When reflecting on our own technology, SCW’s Developer Risk Management platform, I am buoyed by recent metrics from one of our core enterprise clients, and going down the proverbial rabbit hole into this data tells a tale of a high-adoption, potent Secure by Design initiative that has been proven to considerably reduce risk in their organization.

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.

As generative AI cements its place in enterprise software development, a familiar discipline is taking on new urgency: risk management.

Secure Code Warrior have today announced SCW Trust Agent: AI, the industry’s first governance solution designed to make Artificial Intelligence (AI) influence in software development visible, attributable, and enforceable at the point of commit — enabling enterprises to scale AI coding tools with measurable control over software risk.

Even as we restructure the SDLC around the most impactful elements of the Agile methodology with careful, DevSecOps-centric security considerations, is this the end of the road for AppSec as we know it?

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.
