1. Provide mandatory secure coding training for all developers, ensuring they can recognize and remediate vulnerabilities such as those identified in OWASP Top 10. 2. Deliver role and language-specific training modules aligned with DFPS application environments (e.g., .NET, Java, and JavaScript), 3. Conduct assessments to verify developer competency in secure coding practices and establish a measurable baseline for compliance. 4. Reduce reliance on after-the-fact vulnerability scanning and remediation, shifting security left into the software development lifecycle. 5. Support continuous improvement by integrating SCW training into onboarding for new developers and annual re-certification for existing staff. 6. Strengthening DFPS’ application security program, reduce risk to sensitive data, and increase developer efficiency by preventing security issues before they reach production.
