How Netskope Reimagined Secure Code Education
The speed of innovation in cloud computing and AI is at an all time high. Global SASE leader Netskope helps organizations take advantage of it all while addressing evolving threats, new risks and technology shifts. However, these challenging dynamics have placed added pressures on the software development lifecycle.
Netskope’s Deputy CISO, James Robinson, has been at the forefront of finding ways to ensure his organization’s development team stays up to speed on new languages and technologies, but also keeps the team skilled on the ever-evolving security landscape. When he recognized that current training capabilities only addressed a handful of languages, it was obvious a better alternative was needed.
In working with Secure Code Warrior, they have built a program that makes security content visible and accessible to developers, so they won’t wander to unvetted solutions.The customizable content and myriad of hands-on learning activities from Secure Code Warrior has changed the game for Netskope, with a higher participation in SCW’s agile learning platform and the fact that these efforts no longer feel like they’re a check-the-box – but meaningful content and activations for the developer community.
What was their complete journey like and what have been the results thus far?

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.
