Reduce vulnerabilities by half with agile learning
Learn how hands-on security education can reduce vulnerabilities by 53%
The challenge facing development teams today
Developers are under enormous pressure to build faster and accelerate production cycles more than ever before. This leads to a higher volume of code being introduced into organizations, some coming from open-source, A.I., or other third parties. While these may help accelerate productivity, this also raises the risk of introducing insecure code into the code base.
Despite mounting pressure to deliver faster, a software development team reworks about 26% of its code prior to release. This means a developer can spend up to 13.5 hours a week on just technical debt. That’s over 700 hours a year spent on fixing past mistakes. The hours of lost productivity can slow down development cycles, and worse, introduce new risk into the code through shortcuts and third-party sources. This creates a challenge in balancing the pressure to release code quickly but also securely.
According to Secure Code Warrior’s research, 67% of developers admit to shipping code with vulnerabilities, and with each new line of code written each day, more and more vulnerabilities are being introduced. There is a better way to approach this - embed security from the start. In this blog, we’ll explore how developers can be the first line of defense in securing code and reducing up to 53% of vulnerabilities in their code with agile learning.
Stop vulnerabilities from even being introduced
Secure Code Warrior works with over 600 different enterprises to help them secure their code. Our researchers looked at data from 30% of our user base - almost 75,000 developers - and noted that developers who learn and apply secure coding practices with Secure Code Warrior introduce 53% fewer vulnerabilities into their organization than their peers. When developers stop creating new vulnerabilities - this unlocks hours and hours of productivity gained. This time can be spent reducing the technical debt backlog, or even on shipping new, innovative solutions and features. The possibilities become endless when introducing vulnerabilities becomes a thing of the past and can result in a number of efficiency improvements to the software development lifecycle.
How can developers benefit from agile learning?
Secure Code Warrior has integrated agile principles into the design of our learning platform to encourage developers to learn secure coding by doing. This is done through breaking up what used to be long, boring security training into small microbursts of learning that is interactive and engaging.
Secure Code Warrior is the only agile learning platform that combines multiple microburst learning formats so developers can learn, test, and apply their knowledge quickly, in the context of real work they are already doing - in the language of their choice.
With customizable programs, highly impactful hands-on learning activities, and developer tool-ready integrations, Secure Code Warrior is the most effective way to teach developers to identify and fix vulnerabilities at the start of the SDLC, and stop vulnerabilities from being introduced in the first place.
