Secure software depends on clean code -- AI-generated or not
Software is immensely pervasive and foundational to innovation and market leadership. You’ve likely heard the popular phrase coined by McKinsey that "all companies are software companies." It’s true that businesses are competing and winning in their markets based on their ability to digitize and innovate. Almost every major enterprise, no matter its industry, relies heavily on software to deliver services, manage operations internally or promote itself.
Software starts with code, which means that secure or insecure code starts in development. As long as we continue to view security as a bolt-on or an after-the-fact fix, we’ll continue to widen the chasm between the pace of digital innovation and security’s ability to keep up. With AI-generated code increasing the volume and speed of software production without an eye toward code quality, this problem will only worsen. The world needs Clean Code. Without it, the performance of software will suffer, negatively impacting the business.

Mission data privacy: Empowering consumers in an era of rapid change
Whether browsing online for clothes or catching up on the latest news, we’ve all had that unwanted internet cookie pop-up appear. At face-value they may seem harmless, but cookies are a goldmine of private information, posing a serious risk to your data privacy. Today, consumers face a new predicament surrounding attitudes toward their valuable data. When personal data is stolen by a cybercriminal, that offense is the online equivalent of a physical robbery, but the severity of data theft is being overlooked.
From a regulatory standpoint, concerns over data privacy have prompted stricter actions from governments and organizations globally as they try to grapple with the challenge of striking a balance between data security and user privacy. Now, in response to increasingly sophisticated criminal tactics, there must be a shift from slow, reactive regulation towards adopting more proactive strategies that both anticipate and mitigate against potential risks. This will be key to shaping a secure, privacy-conscious future.
