The Importance of Security Education for Developers
Understanding secure software development is crucial for developers to ensure that the software they create is secure. Many developers do not receive proper training or education on security practices during their formal education, which results in a significant knowledge gap once they enter the workforce. A survey highlighted that 28% of developers were unfamiliar with secure software development practices, increasing to 75% among those with less than a year of experience. This lack of education makes it essential for organizations to provide resources, such as courses and training, to equip developers with the necessary skills to build secure software from the beginning.
