DEV.co, a custom software development company, has announced an expansion of its cybersecurity services, incorporating artificial intelligence to proactively defend against increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. The expanded services include custom cybersecurity software development, AI-driven threat detection and automation, secure application architecture, risk assessments, and managed security solutions.

Why it matters

The move reflects a growing industry trend toward embedding security directly into software development, rather than treating it as a separate function. As cybersecurity threats become more complex, organizations are seeking custom-built security platforms that integrate with their data, workflows, and infrastructure.

The details

DEV.co's approach centers on integrating AI-driven analytics and automated monitoring to reduce vulnerabilities and accelerate response times to emerging threats. The company's development process emphasizes security integration throughout the software lifecycle, encompassing research, strategy, architecture design, and delivery. This contrasts with approaches where security is often added as an afterthought.
