How To Prove That Your Security-Aware Developers Are A Cut Above The Rest
DevOps.com, Monday, January 27th, 2025
Security-aware developers are the best first line of defense an organization can have when it comes to software security.
They ensure that the code being used in applications is secure from the get-go. They can save countless hours otherwise spent on technical debt, fixing flaws found in code during testing or after release, not to mention the potential costs of lost business, regulatory fines and reputational damage that can result from a breach.
However, the problem for many organizations is that their developers aren't equipped to ensure the security of the software they are generating. Too few organizations have invested in upskilling developers in secure coding practices, which is a different skill set than required for generating code or building applications. Without the right upskilling program, organizations will continue languishing in the risky world of insecure software.
