Secure Code Warrior has announced an addition to the Okta Integration Network. Okta and Secure Code Warrior have collaborated to deliver Secure Code Warrior (SCW) Connector for Okta Workflows, which enables organisations and developers to write secure code from the start of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Applying a security-first mindset, organisations can design an identity workflow that protects builds from the beginning of the life cycle, giving organisations the flexibility to only provide GitHub repo access to security proficient developers. This helps organisations promote a security first culture while the SCW Learning Platform enables developers to meet these standards and requirements. Organisations have implemented this solution across their application, security and engineering teams to provide this additional layer of security.
Preventing insecure code and ensuring better access control during software development remains a significant need for industries across all verticals. Meanwhile, developers recognise the importance of delivering secure software applications but face competing priorities. According to SCW’s recently released “The State of Developer-Driven Security Survey, 2022”, 67% knowingly left vulnerabilities and exploits in their code, with a lack of time and a cohesive approach cited as the two main barriers to the adoption of secure coding practices.
“This new solution will help organisations reduce the risk of developers committing insecure code by ensuring that employees are up to date on the latest vulnerabilities and secure coding techniques. Through our work together with Okta on a security proficiency check, AppSec Managers can be confident that the team is committing secure code without moving developers out of their workflow. Now, leaders can focus on broad strategic efforts to improve the organisation’s security posture without sacrificing quality or time,” said Pieter Danhieux, Co-founder and CEO, Secure Code Warrior.
“Okta Workflows provides a no-code, low-code approach to automating identity-centric processes at scale. As an early adopter of Workflows Connector Builder, we are excited to have the new Secure Code Warrior connector in the Okta Integration Network, which goes beyond SSO and provisioning to support advanced integration flows. Developers can be confident that their secure code knowledge is up to date and relevant to the code they are committing” said David Shackelford, Senior Director, Okta.
