Secure Code Warrior

Who is ready for great conversations, new demos and interactive sessions? We are excited to be at this year's AppSec and DevSecOps Summit in Melbourne, AU. Come find Patrick Collins and Smita Pati when you are there! https://lnkd.in/grQCSnK3

The Federal Government released the PSPF Direction 002-2024 mandate on vulnerable technologies to bolster cybersecurity measures in Australian government entities. Experts around the world weighed in, including our CEO, Pieter Danhieux, for TechDay Australia:

🎙️ Collaboration between CISOs and developers—from the start of code creation—is one key to building a strong foundation for secure coding processes. As security leaders navigate the evolving relationships with their developer teams, a benchmark for cybersecurity skills sets a collective standard across the organization, keeping developers and their leaders accountable for continuously improving baseline security knowledge. Our Co-founder & CTO Matias Madou offers more insights in his latest Q&A with BetaNews, Inc.:

We are proud to announce that Secure Code Warrior has been named in not one, but three Gartner® Hype Cycle Reports for 2024. Secure Code Warrior is highlighted as a #SampleVendor for Secure Code Training in the July 2024 Hype Cycle for Application Security, the August 2024 Hype Cycle for Software Engineering and the August 2024 Hype Cycle for Open-Source Software. And just as important, Gartner spotlights that the Secure Code Training segment has moved into the Slope of Enlightenment, which we believe further validates our work in establishing innovative agile learning standards for secure coding that transform the ways software is created.

Secure Code Warrior is proud to partner with the more than 600 companies around the world who are driving innovation through securely trained engineers and developers. DigitalOcean is no exception, and the company has taken their journey with our agile learning platform to new heights. By quickly and regularly reinforcing secure coding practices, DigitalOcean has seen a marked decrease in security debt across teams. In fact, the cmopany has found that teams trained with SCW are not only more adept at identifying and mitigating security issues, but they also now have the confidence to push the boundaries of innovation without compromising security. Thank you DigitalOcean and Ari Kalfus for sharing your story and here's the company's ongoing success. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/gr7KDsc4

Grab your spot now to join Secure Code Warrior, Pacific Hackers Association + Silicon Valley Cyber Security, and Mend.io for our Secure Coding Tournament on Wednesday, September 11! Registration will give you early access to brush up on your secure coding skills and help you win the competition.

👩💻 For all the benefits that AI coding tools bring, the bottom line is that they can't be trusted to work entirely on their own. AI's proficiency at creating software code won't put developers out of a job, but the job will change to one focused on security, collaboration and "mentoring" AI models. Our Co-Founder & CTO Matias Madou shares his thoughts on the evolved role of the developer in Dark Reading: #AIcoding #securecoding #DevSecOps

🏅 "[Developers] will need to 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." Our Co-Founder & CTO, Matias Madou, shared the latest on our recent Trust Agent launch with SD Times. Check it out here:

🏆 "Developers have their hands on the tools, building the software that powers our lives... no certification or industry benchmark has traditionally been applied to help steer them right or identify knowledge gaps." Pieter Danhieux shares his thoughts on Secure-by-Design policies in his latest Forbes Technology Council piece:

#ICYMI: Last week, we unveiled SCW Trust Agent: technology designed to help CISOs and AppSec teams ensure their projects remain safe and free of coding errors/vulnerabilities. Check out ComputerWeekly.com for more details on this industry-first standard: #securecoding #AppSec #DevSecOps
