Developer Knowledge Profiles
Imagine If…
Your developers could deeply understand the skillsets of their peers and be directed to the security experts that can help them with their code! At the same time, your Security Architects could make more informed decisions based on an understanding of individual developer knowledge.
With Apiiro, you can…
Build developer profiles that are accurate and continuously and automatically updated. Apiiro:
- Identify developer skills and knowledge directly from code commits
- Recognizes expertise across a wide variety of technologies and platforms
- Alert developers to colleagues with relevant expertise – in the pull request!
When security-related code is committed, the expertise of the developer matters! Apiiro will help you make more informed decisions about the risk of a change based on a detailed understanding of your developers.
The Challenges with Today’s Application Inventories
Every developer has a completely unique set of experiences, technical abilities, and expertise. But asking developers to create knowledge profiles is an extremely imprecise exercise:
- What does it mean to “know” Java?
- If 100 developers rank their knowledge of authentication frameworks from 1 to 5, how consistent will the answers be? One person’s 2 may be another person’s 5.
Without the ability to identify developer skills:
- It is difficult to share expertise across your engineering teams
- AppSec Engineers waste time investigating code committed by developers with extensive security knowledge
The Bottom Line
It’s time to finally make the most of your developers’ security knowledge and expertise!
