CISOs are under the microscope to prove they can reduce vulnerabilities in the software development life cycle -- particularly, that they can do so from the start of code creation. As such, CISOs are searching for the most effective way to ensure the security awareness of their developers before they take on the responsibility of writing and introducing code.

The Federal Government’s recent mandate, PSPF Direction 002-2024, aims to significantly bolster cybersecurity measures within Australian Government entities by requiring them to identify and actively manage risks tied to vulnerable technologies. The announcement has sparked reactions from key figures in the cybersecurity industry, who have shared their insights on its implications and potential impacts.

CISA’s Secure by Design movement has gained significant momentum, with governments around the world—like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Singapore, Japan, Germany and the U.K.—contributing to its creation or following it directly as part of their own publicized cybersecurity strategies.

Developers, it appears, will not be replaced by artificial intelligence – at least not yet, anyway. What they will need to do is learn or improve their skills in providing templates for AI, become masters of fixing problems in AI-generated code, and actually learn the best uses for AI in software development.

Cyber threats remain high, but demand for cybersecurity workers in Australia has dipped.

New SCW Trust Agent facilitates a Secure-by-Design approach for enterprises; equips security leaders with unparalleled visibility into their organisations’ software security posture.

Secure Code Warrior introduced SCW Trust Agent – a solution that assesses the specific security competencies of developers for every code commit.

The SCW Trust Agent can be deployed on any Git-based code repository, including Github, Gitlab and Atlassian Bitbucket to ensure that only developers that have only developers that have attained a specific security rating are allowed to make a commit. Those ratings are based on more than 20 million data points collected from 250,000 developers around the world.

Secure Code Warrior unveils technology designed to help CISOs and AppSec teams ensure their projects remain safe and free of coding errors and vulnerabilities – a big issue following the CrowdStrike incident.

The cybersecurity industry has responded to the Australian Government’s Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) Direction 002-2024, issued on July 8, 2024. The directive requires Australian Government entities to identify and actively manage the risks associated with vulnerable technologies they manage for themselves and others.

Running a successful SME requires juggling many hats. But one area that can’t be overlooked is cybersecurity. Data breaches and cyberattacks are on the rise, and even small businesses are attractive targets.

Software is the foundation of virtually every modern enterprise, yet our reliance on potentially vulnerable open-source components in critical systems represents an extreme risk in the software supply chain. It’s an ailment for which we must find an appropriate cure.

One of the most challenging aspects of integrating AI tools into business operations is determining which outputs are trustworthy, which tools you can trust to become part of your tech stack, the strengths and weaknesses of each tool, and how you can ensure consistent results if different tools or processes are being used.

AI coding tools can assist the defence capabilities of developers, enabling an easier pathway to a ‘security-first’ mindset. However, like any new and potentially impactful innovation, they also raise potential questions that teams and organisations need to explore.

When it comes to enterprise cybersecurity, nothing is set in stone. With a constantly shifting threat landscape on one hand and evolving tools on the other, security teams can often feel overworked and overwhelmed.

Few technological advances have captured widespread attention as quickly as Artificial Intelligence (AI). In less than two years, AI has evolved from being a technical novelty into a powerful tool, and its rate of evolution shows no sign of slowing.

Demand is high for professionals with knowledge of AI, but do such talents really get implemented on the job?

Pieter Danhieux on the Benefits of Trust Score for CISOs and Developers.

Peter Danhieux shares three best practices to consider when developing an internal upskilling programme.

Industry pundits across retail and technology have welcomed the Australian Federal Budget for 2024-25 and its particular focus on easing cost-of-living pressures as well as digital and cyber investments - even though several were hoping for more action.

Code created by AI can be rife with vulnerabilities and flaws, but AI-assisted coding tools can still be helpful if paired with security-aware, human developers.

As AI becomes an integral part of code delivery in banks and other FSIs, the volume of code produced will increase, and so will the number of errors, flaws and vulnerabilities – unless these are corrected early in the software development lifecycle. The responsibility to run those quality checks will initially fall squarely on development teams to execute.

The Australian government announced its 2024-25 federal budget and CSO has selected highlights that indicate how much will go towards cybersecurity and in what areas.

Secure Code Warrior has announced the introduction of its SCW Trust Score, the industry's first benchmark that gauges the security posture of organisations' developer teams.

Secure Code Warrior, the global, developer-driven security leader, today unveiled SCW Trust Score, the industry’s first benchmark that quantifies the security posture of organisations’ developer teams.

New benchmark leverages over 20 million learning data points from more than 250,000 developers around the world

The security learning company Secure Code Warrior is making it easier for organizations to assess the security posture of their development teams with the SCW Trust Score.

Developer security advocate Secure Code Warrior has launched what it claims is the industry’s first benchmark designed to quantify the security competence of its customers’ software developer teams.

We’ve established that developers are an integral—yet frequently underutilised—part of reaching a state of software security excellence. This is especially relevant to more than just PCI DSS compliance. It is crucial that developers understand the broader picture of PCI DSS 4.0 - even if they are not subject to it - in terms of what they can control and integrate as part of their default approach to a software build.

Teams that implement agile learning in secure code, along with safe deployment of AI assistive tooling enjoy the benefit of hands-on experience with the tools while achieving security at speed. This has been notoriously difficult to achieve, especially if developers have little experience with security awareness and training. The “just-in-time” approach directly ties into what developers are doing on a day-to-day basis, with context that allows them to anticipate and solve relevant vulnerability problems that have been created by AI.

Recent evolutions in developer security education have enhanced the ability for enterprises to benchmark their cohorts' security abilities, ultimately designing programs to ensure they operate with security as second nature. This can result in meaningful risk mitigation and favorable comparisons against others in their industry as a whole.

Pieter Danhieux Co-Founder and CEO, Secure Code Warrior, discusses the need for leadership when it comes to cybersecurity and why the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) could be the answer.

The Marsh McLennan Cyber Risk Analytics Center has estimated that API vulnerabilities cost businesses anywhere up to $75 billion annually. Clearly, businesses should be decommissioning those old APIs. What’s stopping them?

Will AI remediation entirely remove security-related coding tasks from developers?

The doomsayers are, so far, losing the argument. The panic around AI replacing humans has been countered with a new narrative: “Let AI redefine your job rather than replace it.” According to a recent survey from Stack Overflow, 44% of developers are either using or planning to use AI tools—even though just 3% “highly trust” the accuracy of the results. Twice as many (6%) say they highly mistrust AI due to security concerns and inaccuracy.

While it’s true that AI can help save some time for overworked programmers, the future will likely be one where humans and AI work together, with trained personnel in charge of applying critical thinking and precision skills to ensure all code is as secure as possible.

CISA’s Secure-By-Design guidelines, which call for shifting the responsibility for secure coding back to those making the devices, software and applications people increasingly rely on, and trust with sensitive data. The program defines what many frustrated technology users already know, that the industry needs a new model for cybersecurity in which vulnerabilities are fixed long before they reach the public.

Apiiro has announced a product integration and partnership with Secure Code Warrior to extend its ASPM technology and processes to the people layer.

Apiiro, the leading application security posture management (ASPM) platform, today announced a product integration and partnership with Secure Code Warrior, the leading agile developer security training platform to extend its ASPM technology and processes to the people layer.

Pieter Danhieux, Co-Founder and CEO of Secure Code Warrior, recently discussed the evolving role of developers and the integration of AI tools in software development with SafetyDetectives. He emphasized the need for developers to prioritize security practices and provide oversight to AI-generated code. Danhieux highlighted essential security benchmarks for both AI assistants and developers, stressing the importance of visibility, data-driven measurement, and flexibility in security programs.

Building a simple calculator is a lot different from navigating the compliant configuration of a payment gateway, so exercising discretion and resisting the temptation to outsource complex issues to AI tools is paramount.

By embracing agile learning and allocating sufficient time for developers to undertake the training, organisations will be better placed to withstand the constantly evolving threat landscape with which they are faced.

Agile training sessions are built around just-in-time ‘microburst’ teaching scenarios. This means development teams can learn, test, and apply knowledge quickly and within the context of their work, in addition to addressing their current security challenges.
