Revealed: An exciting partnership to elevate agile learning and developer-driven security in the enterprise
Fresh off the back of our Series C funding announcement, I am thrilled to announce another step in our company’s journey. Security industry leader, Synopsys, has welcomed an exciting new addition to its product suite: Synopsys Developer Security Training, powered by Secure Code Warrior. You can read the full press release here.
This expansion of their industry-leading portfolio of application security solutions signifies a positive step in the right direction for enterprise security programs, enabling them to embrace best-practice DevSecOps methodologies - especially those relating to the shared responsibility for security. Put simply, this integration will grow the global base of security-skilled developers, and this is a wonderful opportunity for every organization to support code-level vulnerability reduction through developer enablement in secure coding.
Global governments are placing increasing scrutiny on software vendors in the wake of some of the worst cyberattacks on record, with CISA in the United States releasing their Security-by-Design and -Default Guidelines this year, in which they recommend that the ultimate responsibility for cybersecurity outcomes is placed on the vendor rather than end-user. For many software vendors, this will require a significant overhaul of their internal security practices, or they run the risk of hefty fines. This will quickly become a non-negotiable across the globe, and any excuses relating to a cybersecurity skills shortage won’t fly: we need security-aware developers to play their vital role in safer software creation, and we need them now.
Flexible, customizable agile learning solutions are a powerful antidote to poor coding patterns, in addition to the negative experience many developers have had with AppSec initiatives to date. They need to be won over, accommodated, and given learning pathways that fit in with their workflow to deliver the right information at the right time. Synopsys’ integration with our platform is a viable, market-leading solution to this problem, and can fundamentally change the developer relationship with security for the better.
Cybercrime is set to cost companies globally an estimated $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, a consistent rise from $3 trillion in 2015. Cybersecurity Ventures also reports that cybercrime represents the “greatest transfer of economic wealth in history”. This is not a drill; we as a collective industry must start prioritizing secure coding education for every individual writing code, and set a new benchmark for security as a measure of software quality. With Synopsys’ comprehensive suite of tools now including engaging, hyper-relevant hands-on agile learning for developers, there has never been a better time to make a meaningful switch to developer-driven, preventive security programs.

Trust Score Reveals the Value of Secure-by-Design Upskilling Initiatives
Our research has shown that secure code training works. Trust Score, using an algorithm drawing on more than 20 million learning data points from work by more than 250,000 learners at over 600 organizations, reveals its effectiveness in driving down vulnerabilities and how to make the initiative even more effective.
Reactive Versus Preventive Security: Prevention Is a Better Cure
The idea of bringing preventive security to legacy code and systems at the same time as newer applications can seem daunting, but a Secure-by-Design approach, enforced by upskilling developers, can apply security best practices to those systems. It’s the best chance many organizations have of improving their security postures.
The Benefits of Benchmarking Security Skills for Developers
The growing focus on secure code and Secure-by-Design principles requires developers to be trained in cybersecurity from the start of the SDLC, with tools like Secure Code Warrior’s Trust Score helping measure and improve their progress.
Driving Meaningful Success for Enterprise Secure-by-Design Initiatives
Our latest research paper, Benchmarking Security Skills: Streamlining Secure-by-Design in the Enterprise is the result of deep analysis of real Secure-by-Design initiatives at the enterprise level, and deriving best practice approaches based on data-driven findings.
