AI coding assistants like Copilot, Claude, and ChatGPT are transforming software development. According to recent surveys, over 90% of developers are already using these tools to write code, debug, and even learn new skills. But as AI becomes embedded in the developer workflow, a critical question emerges for AI leaders: how do we ensure developers are using these tools securely?
The answer lies not just in training - but in measuring the impact of that training. Post-training developer surveys are a powerful, often overlooked tool that can help organizations validate secure coding knowledge, identify gaps, and ensure that AI is accelerating development without introducing risk.
Security Journey, a leader in secure code training, emphasizes that training alone isn’t enough. Without feedback, organizations risk delivering content that’s too basic, too advanced, or simply ineffective. A well-designed post-training survey helps you:
This feedback loop is essential for continuous improvement - and for ensuring that developers are not just checking boxes, but actually changing behavior.
While AI tools offer speed and convenience, they also introduce new risks:
In fact, nearly half of developers surveyed by CodeSignal expressed concerns about the security and privacy of AI-generated code. That’s why secure coding training must now include modules on AI-specific risks - like prompt injection, data leakage, and insecure plugin design.
At our core, we believe in empowering developers to embrace AI - not avoid it. When used responsibly, AI coding assistants can dramatically improve productivity, reduce repetitive work, and even help developers learn secure coding practices. But this only works when developers are trained to use these tools safely and understand their limitations.
Surveys help you assess whether developers are confident using AI tools, whether they’re applying secure practices, and whether your training is keeping pace with the evolving AI landscape. They also help you uncover friction points - like unclear policies or lack of support - that might be holding developers back from fully leveraging AI.
To help you get started, we’re offering our Secure Code Training – Developer Survey as a free resource. It includes questions across key categories:
|
Category |
What You'll Learn |
|
Awareness & Knowledge |
