How DigitalOcean Reduced Software Security Debt and Pushed the Boundaries of Productivity
Reducing security debt is something that all companies strive to achieve. How does one minimize the amount of security vulnerabilities? How does one speed up time to market while ensuring that the code being generated is top notch?
Like many companies, DigitalOcean chose Secure Code Warrior to drive digital innovation and modernization by building and releasing quality code from the start with security-aware developers.
DigitalOcean, which offers scalable computing resources and a suite of cloud solutions that enable developers to deploy, manage, and scale applications effortlessly, turned to Secure Code Warrior as the company expanded and grew its engineering teams. In the fast-paced technology industry, the company needed to ensure their developers could identify common poor coding patterns that arose in design reviews so that they could proactively prevent them from recurring.
As Ari Kalfus, senior manager of product security noted, “We needed a solution that was developer-specific, hands-on, and focused on the risks that our organization was facing.” Secure Code Warrior delivered on this, with one of the most notable outcomes being the ability to quickly and regularly reinforce secure coding practices. This led to a marked decrease in security debt across teams. Overall, DigitalOcean has found that teams trained with SCW were 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.

Benchmarking Security Skills: Streamlining Secure-by-Design in the Enterprise
Finding meaningful data on the success of Secure-by-Design initiatives is notoriously difficult. CISOs are often challenged when attempting to prove the return on investment (ROI) and business value of security program activities at both the people and company levels. Not to mention, it’s particularly difficult for enterprises to gain insights into how their organizations are benchmarked against current industry standards. The President’s National Cybersecurity Strategy challenged stakeholders to “embrace security and resilience by design.” The key to making Secure-by-Design initiatives work is not only giving developers the skills to ensure secure code, but also assuring the regulators that those skills are in place. In this presentation, we share a myriad of qualitative and quantitative data, derived from multiple primary sources, including internal data points collected from over 250,000 developers, data-driven customer insights, and public studies. Leveraging this aggregation of data points, we aim to communicate a vision of the current state of Secure-by-Design initiatives across multiple verticals. The report details why this space is currently underutilized, the significant impact a successful upskilling program can have on cybersecurity risk mitigation, and the potential to eliminate categories of vulnerabilities from a codebase.

Is Vibe Coding Going to Turn Your Codebase Into a Frat Party?
Vibe coding is like a college frat party, and AI is the centerpiece of all the festivities, the keg. It’s a lot of fun to let loose, get creative, and see where your imagination can take you, but after a few keg stands, drinking (or, using AI) in moderation is undoubtedly the safer long-term solution.
