Sydney – 18 May 2021 – Loop Secure, one of Australia’s leading cybersecurity professional services consultancies, has announced a partnership with rapidly-expanding Secure Code Warrior to enable customers to quickly recognise and remove coding vulnerabilities in their IT software.
Through this collaboration, developers in major enterprises across Australia can access Secure Code Warrior’s Learning Platform with relevant, contextual skills-based pathways for developers to write secure code at speed across 52 language frameworks; and work with the experts at Loop Secure to bridge the gap between application security and development teams.
“Often cybersecurity policy and resiliency is set by the Security team or CISO; however, a large number of vulnerabilities are exploited through the code base. The rise of DevSecOps has helped remediate this, however, there is still a long way to go in upskilling developers to write secure code from the start,” comments Greg Abel, General Manager of Secure Alliance, Loop Secure.
“Today, addressing security early in the software development life cycle is essential to preventing data breaches. Organisations that embrace a preventative approach will benefit from less rework, improved productivity and security aware developer teams. It is also delivered in an engaging, contextual and interactive way that steers away from traditional ‘death-by-powerpoint’ training programs.” Says Abel.
“Our mission at Secure Code Warrior is to empower developers to create secure software from the start — it’s not about just shifting left, but starting left,” said Stephen Allor, Director of Partnerships at Secure Code Warrior. “By making security a positive and engaging experience, our human-led approach enables development teams to ship quality code faster by improving security at the most efficient stage of the software development process.”

The promise of artificial intelligence writing complex code at the touch of a button is intriguing, but the reality is that AI will need a lot of help from human developers to craft truly secure and reliable code.
