Software development teams always strive to master their trade, improve their practices, and deliver secure applications and services, especially because application security risks are mounting and expectations are higher than ever.

Despite continuous breaches at the fault of insecure code, secure coding training for development teams is still almost completely absent from computer science programs in top US colleges.

Faced with this "AppSec dilemma", it's vital that 2023 becomes the year for new, secure habits across the software development lifecycle.

To enable more secure habits for developers and everyone that supports the delivery of secure code, education and a security-first mindset need to become priorities.

Each role across the SDLC will need to embrace different secure habits to best support secure coding.

By "Habit stacking" general reviews and security reviews, these new secure habits are more likely to become long-lasting.
