PRIORITIZING SECURITY: KEY FINDINGS FROM THE OPENSSF SURVEY FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The Linux Foundation's Open Source Security Foundation (OpenSSF) 'Secure Software Development Education 2024' Survey highlights significant security challenges for financial institutions. With 75% of developers with under a year of experience lacking secure development knowledge, financial firms are urged to invest in structured training, focus on AI and supply chain security, and enhance cross-departmental collaboration. These steps are essential for building robust security frameworks and safeguarding client trust.
Our "Developing Secure Software" (LFD121) course offers free, on-demand training on secure development fundamentals. Take the course today to strengthen your software security.
