ALT Assessing the Modern Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) By Raj Mallempati, CEO and Co-founder of BlueFlag Security

ALT Your code isn't the only thing attackers can target. Every identity, tool and workflow can introduce risk. Human developers and offshore contractors Service accounts, API tokens and deploy keys CI/CD pipelines and shared workflows AI coding assistants and autonomous agents The overlooked risk: Identities may have access to far more than their actual work requires.

ALT Can you account for every identity operating in your development environment? Effective security starts with visibility, not restrictions. Raj recommends five governance pillars: - Visibility: Start with read-only observation. - Least privilege: Remove unused access using actual usage data. - Behavioral baselines: Identify unusual activity across every identity. - Continuous vigilance: Monitor pipeline and repository changes. - Proportionate response: Match enforcement to the level of risk. Security and development speed can coexist when governance is built on knowing rather than blocking.
