Hackers will become part of software development
While hackers are typically associated with cyberattacks, many of them also have a “broad, practical skillset” that can make them useful for parts of software development.That’s according to Alex Rice, the co-founder and CTO of HackerOne, which connects businesses with penetration testers and cybersecurity researchers.
Rice believes that both hackers and external code reviewers will become a more integrated part of the software development processes in 2023, as more organisations adopt security reviews into their development process.
“As the value of DevSecOps (development, security and operations) increases, we’ll see the line between hackers and developers blurring as hackers with development expertise become a core element of the software development processes,” Rice said. “There’s a lot of value hackers can bring when it comes to catching security risks earlier rather than later.”
