Secure Code Warrior unveils free AI security rules for developers
Secure Code Warrior has released AI Security Rules on GitHub, offering developers a free resource aimed at improving code security when working with AI coding tools. The resource is designed for use with a variety of AI coding tools, including GitHub Copilot, Cline, Roo, Cursor, Aider, and Windsurf. The newly available rulesets are structured to provide security-focused guidance to developers who are increasingly using AI to assist with code generation and development processes. Secure Code Warrior's ongoing goal is to enable developers to produce more secure code from the outset when leveraging AI, aligning with broader efforts to embed security awareness and best practices across development workflows. The company emphasises that developers who possess a strong understanding of security can potentially create much safer and higher-quality code with AI assistance, compared to those who lack such proficiency. Security within workflow "These guardrails add a meaningful layer of defence, especially when developers are moving fast, multitasking, or find themselves trusting AI tools a little too much," said Pieter Danhieux, Secure Code Warrior Co-Founder & CEO. "We've kept our rules clear, concise and strictly focused on security practices that work across a wide range of environments, intentionally avoiding language or framework-specific guidance. Our vision is a future where security is seamlessly integrated into the developer workflow, regardless of how code is written. This is just the beginning." The AI Security Rules offer what the company describes as a pragmatic and lightweight baseline that can be adopted by any developer or organisation, regardless of whether they are a Secure Code Warrior customer. The rules are presented in a way that reduces reliance on language- or framework-specific advice, allowing broad applicability. Features and flexibility The rulesets function as secure defaults, guiding AI tools away from hazardous coding patterns and well-known security pitfalls such as unsafe use of functions like eval, insecure authentication methods, or deployment without parameterised queries. The rules are grouped by development domain—including web frontend, backend, and mobile—so that developers in varied environments can benefit. They are designed to be adaptable and can be incorporated with AI coding tools that support external rule files. Another feature highlighted is the public availability and ease of adjustment, meaning development teams of any size or configuration can tailor the rules to their workflow, technology stack, or project requirements. This is intended to foster consistency and collaboration within and between development teams when reviewing or generating AI-assisted code. Supplementary content The introduction of the AI Security Rules follows several recent releases from Secure Code Warrior centred around artificial intelligence and large language model (LLM) security. These include four new courses—such as "Coding With AI" and "OWASP Top 10 for LLMs"—along with six interactive walkthrough missions, upwards of 40 new AI Challenges, and an expanded set of guidelines and video content. All resources are available on-demand within the Secure Code Warrior platform. This rollout represents the initial phase of a broader initiative to provide ongoing training and up-to-date resources supporting secure development as AI technologies continue to be integrated into software engineering practices. The company states that additional related content is already in development and is expected to be released in the near future. Secure Code Warrior's efforts align with increasing industry focus on the intersection of AI and cybersecurity, as the adoption of AI coding assistants becomes widespread. The emphasis on clear, practical security rules is intended to help mitigate common vulnerabilities that can be introduced through both manual and AI-assisted programming. The AI Security Rules are publicly available on GitHub for any developers or organisations wishing to incorporate the guidance into their existing development operations using compatible AI tools.

Meanwhile, you could save 50p on a box of ten Vitasia Fortune Cookies, which would set you back £1.49. In total, shoppers who used the Lidl Plus app last month would have saved up to £235. Coupon king You can also access personalised discounts and coupons through the Lidl Plus app. These are tailored to your shopping habits and need to be activated before you reach the checkout. At the time of writing, Lidl was offering three Bakery Almond Croissants for £1.50 - saving you 57p. If you used similar deals every week you would save £29.64. So Rewarding If you use the Lidl Plus app regularly, then you can unlock rewards for hitting certain spending targets. For example, you could get a free sweet treat when you spend just £10 a month. Items to always buy at Lidl Meanwhile, if you spend £250 in one month, then you will earn 10% off your next shop. This would save you £6 on a £60 weekly shop. If you got this deal once a month, then you would save £72 after a year. Flavour of the week Lidl often runs weekly offers, which can help you save big on some of your favourite foods. Every week, the supermarket runs a different theme, with food from countries around the world. Insider's guide to the best time to shop at Lidl Former Lidl manager Roo Dhissou reveals her tips to bag the best bargains at the supermarket. Speaking on 24 Hours in Lidl, she revealed how to get up to 60 per cent off full price items. Roo said there is a specific time to get more value for money, but you need to act fast. The best time to shop in the nationwide stores is between 4-5pm, when the orange sticker markdowns begin to appear. Roo said: "They have set points in the day where you do a check and a refill with whatever has been left out. "You'll actually see them being marked down, so you'll be able to get them before they go back out onto the shelves. "They're not marked down on the day like other supermarkets, they're marked down two days before, generally." 4 The supermarket has deals on cupboard essentials including pasta and couscous Credit: Getty Images - Getty Greek, French and Italian week are popular and can be a good opportunity for you to stock up on items including pasta and cous cous. But keep an eye out for XXL week, which could help you to save big on cupboard essentials. In its most recent XXL week it sold a box of 16 Bon Gelati Mini ice creams for £3.89 In comparison a standard pack of 12 would usually set you back £3.09 - meaning you would save 18p during XXL week. If you bought ten items during XXL week then you would save £1.80. Happy Hour If you enjoy tucking into a doughnut or a croissant, then pop into your nearest Lidl on your way home from work. The supermarket runs a bakery happy hour every day from 7pm onwards as part of its pledge to reduce food waste. You can get your hands on a croissant for 20% less than the normal price - saving you around 10p. If you used this deal once a week, then you would save £5.20 a year. Feeling fruity Lidl is known for its cheap fruit and veg but did you know you could save even more on cupboard essentials in the morning? The supermarket puts out 5kg boxes of wonky fruit and veg for just £1.50 every morning. This could save you around £3.50 compared to buying all the items separately. Lidl also runs weekly offers on six fruits and vegetables, depending on what is in season. At time of writing you could get a 400g box of closed cup mushrooms for 99p - 30p less than their normal price. The offers change every seven days, so check the Lidl Plus App, website or weekly leaflet to avoid being disappointed. If you used both of those deals once a week then you would save around £275.60 a year. Middle of Lidl Everyone knows about the "Middle of Lidl", the area of the store where you'll find random stuff that you didn't realise you need, at great prices. My Lidl tips as a deals expert TOM Church, co-founder of discount website shares his top tips to save money at Lidl. Look out for red sticker discounted products. These are usually marked down later in the day, so shopping just before closing is your best chance of scoring these heavily marked down products.
