As DevOps continues along its path of domination, organizations are seeking to bring development and security teams closer together to support the release of secure software and faster time-to-market. The needs and benefits of moving security into the realm of the developer are clear – it saves time, money and company resources. However, the reality is that around 60% of developers* don’t have confidence in the security of their own applications. This gap exists as developers are often underserved when it comes to security strategy. Organizations normally put developers through secure code training once a year, or at best, once a quarter, and hope that from then onwards developers will be able to get on the same page as security teams. While this approach “checks the training box”, it doesn’t not truly cultivate a sustained culture of software awareness.
Raising AppSec awareness cannot be thought of as a distinct step in the SDLC. It’s all about inserting awareness into every step of the SDLC in a manner that actually fuels faster releases. CxCodebashing was designed exactly for this reason. Through the use of open communication, ongoing engagement, gamified training, and on-the-spot remediation support, security managers can cultivate a culture of software security that empowers developers to think and act securely in their day-to-day work.
