AI’s Transformative Impact on Software Development by 2024

AI has revolutionized the technology world in 2023. The tech landscape is bursting with excitement, and 2024 will bring a paradigm change for developers around the world.

A second unfavorable aspect of the year 2023 is that it has a reputation for expensive security breaches caused by human error. Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report for 2023 declared that human error is prevalent in 74% all breaches.

Mistakes like privilege misuse, accidental data disclosure, and falling victim are all examples of mistakes. social engineering attacks stem from various human factors and the critical consequences of the compromise of secrets, lamented Ev Kontsevoy, CEO & co-founder at Teleport Developer of the Teleport Open Infrastructure Access Platform

Due to the prevalence of these issues, organizations have embraced biometric hardware for identity verification. The attackers now aren’t just focused on stealing passwords. They are actively looking for a wide range of secrets that an organization has embedded in its infrastructure. This includes browser cookies and private keys as well as API keys, session tokens and API keys.

Kontsevoy said in TechNewsWorld that “to keep pace with the pace and scale of threats, organisations will realize they must move fully to secretless authentication by 2024. This will secure the broader spectrum of sensitive access point still vulnerable to threat.”

He predicted that widespread adoption of secretless accessibility in the next year would create immunity to human errors and hamper the operations of threat actors.

Forecasting Changes to Development and IT Security

Kontsevoy is not afraid to be blunt when describing what software developers must do. The way companies will approach network security will undergo a significant shift. It will no longer be a security team centered on IT.

He added that “we’ll see security teams shift to consultants and auditors with engineering teams being responsible for selecting vendors and implementing safety protocols.” “Cybersecurity will be responsible for ensuring security and workflows, and that engineering teams are in charge of choosing vendors and implementing security protocols,” he added. This shift emphasizes the importance of custom software development services, as businesses will need tailored solutions to address their unique security needs.

Yoav Abrahmi, Chief Architect and Head of Velo for website-building platform Wix, said we are in the middle of a massive revolution in information sparked by OpenAI. Artificial Intelligence tools will continue augmenting other developer integrations.

DevOps will continue to evolve, as well as data mining and project planning. The core web vitals are going to become even more important and will force developers to focus more on them, he said.

“Developers have shifted from their local workstations to cloud workstations. “Those who take the leap will remain ahead of the curve,” said he to TechNewsWorld.

Legacy Platforms are less important

Leaders in Digibee Developers will be impacted by three major trends this year.

  • As AI continues its boom, the use of low-code will increase.
  • Integrating will improve organizational design.
  • Legacy systems will become obsolete.

AI adoption and use cases are similar to low-code. According to Digibee’s CTO Peter Kreslins, AI helps organizations and individuals analyze, interpret and manage massive datasets, create first drafts of content and find answers to their questions. It also helps them read medical images, such as X rays.

AI adoption is exploding across all applications. With the help of competitive intelligence tools, businesses can further leverage AI to monitor market trends and make data-driven decisions. Low code can also reduce the amount of actual code that is needed.

Providing high-level direction takes much less time, which low-code systems convert to code – similar to how generative AI systems, such as ChatGPT and Dalle-E, save time producing text or images based on high-level direction.

Low code allows organizations to take such initiatives. Accordingly, we anticipate that the use of low-code will increase in 2024,” Kreslins explained to TechNewsWorld.

New Integration Techniques in IT

In 2024, legacy systems will be much less prevalent. Legacy systems can be defined as existing and functioning systems.

“That’s a reasonable, but perhaps overly charitable description.” Kreslins explained that legacy software was a significant barrier to change and innovation.

Modern integration platforms allow organizations to keep using legacy systems as part of a modern IT stack, even if they perform well.

He noted that “Legacy Systems are becoming obsolete but are expensive to replace, in industries like financial services. Integrating them prolongs their usage and allows them to support innovations and change.”

AIOps at Full Speed Ahead

AIOps – artificial intelligence for IT operation – will play an important role in this year’s development. AI adoption is increasing exponentially and, with AGI and technology singularity in the far future, humans are going to be an important part of the AI narrative, says Shahid Ahmed, Group EVP for new ventures and Innovation at NTT.

He told TechNewsWorld that organizations must think beyond the year ahead to ensure they are able to implement new technologies and achieve sustainability goals.

AIOps’ rapid advancement has made the concept of a fully automated, lights out network operations centre (NOC) a desirable one. Ahmed predicted over the next twelve months that networking companies will embed AIOps further into their wider operations in order to improve network performance, support engineers and modernize infrastructures.

He believes that this Dark NOC concept will be a part of the networking vocabulary this year. Human talent is key for its success, even though automation will be at its core.

“Network providers will need to focus on upskilling, as well as ensuring they have made the necessary preparations from a technological standpoint – from standardizing APIs to optimizing data processes,” he added.

Devs embrace security innovations that are hands-on

Chris Hughes is the chief security advisor for Endor Labs CISA’s Cyber Innovation Fellow.

Attackers are increasingly aware that it is more effective to target a single software provider on a proprietary front, or OSS libraries widely used than individual companies.

He told TechNewsWorld that in 2024 we would continue to see a rise in software supply-chain attacks, as malicious actors will look to take advantage of the overlooked and complex software supply-chain attack surface most large enterprise environments possess.


This will continue to drive themes like Secure-by Design and software liability products. Hughes said that platform providers would continue to try and drive systemic change by making platform changes which can be beneficial to many.

Software liability will remain a controversial topic. “Many are worried that this will hinder innovation while others argue it’s long past time software companies were held responsible for the products and services they provide to consumers and customers,” he said.

Software suppliers may be facing a growing number of false claims cases and lawsuits based on the MOVEit class action and breach lawsuits by Progress Software.

Meta Makes Coders More Skilful

Meta announced that 2023 was no longer a reality. Purple Llama Tool that empowers developers, advances safety and builds an open ecosystem.

Purple Llama’s umbrella project includes open trust and security tools and evaluations that are meant to provide developers with a level playing field to deploy generative AI experiences and models in accordance to best practices.

She also said that different experts from around the world have varying opinions on how to best ensure AI safety.

Carignan said that international cooperation will be key to achieving AI security globally. Carignan said that we will likely see similar products from both consumer-focused and corporate providers. We are also taking our first steps to a new field of due diligence.

Gareth Lindahl Wise is the chief information security officer of Ontinue A managed detection and reaction (MDR), provider.

Working together to meet regulatory pressure

Software developers may feel the pressure to improve cybersecurity more than their IT colleagues. Teleport’s Kontsevoy believes that their industry will be under more regulatory pressure.

“So many aspects of our lives are now controlled by software. Bruce Schneier, a world-renowned expert in cryptography, has advocated increased regulation. He even went so far as to suggest that software should be regulated the same as airspace.

While there is no silver bullet — and he does not recommend regulating all software like this — there are undoubtedly critical software systems comparable to airplanes in terms of the potential damage that may need that approach, Kontsevoy added.

There is no chance that it could happen. Gartner He predicts that 45% CISOs’ responsibilities will be expanded beyond cybersecurity because of increasing regulatory pressures, and the expansion of attack surfaces.

“Expect to see this trend begin in January and snowball quickly over the next five-year period,” he said.
