Deloitte Launches AI-Powered Platform for Secure Software Development

Global consulting firm Deloitte has announced the launch of a new platform designed to help organizations develop secure software using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The platform, which leverages Anthropic’s Claude models, aims to bridge the gap between vulnerability discovery and remediation in software development.

The platform is built as part of Deloitte’s service delivery platform and utilizes its remediation harness, engineering capabilities, and managed services to help enterprises rapidly remediate vulnerabilities while maintaining operational stability. This is particularly important for organizations that rely on a complex mix of custom-built code, open-source components, and third-party commercial software.

According to Adnan Amjad, Deloitte’s US Cyber leader, ‘Securing the modern software supply chain requires a distinct approach for every unique layer of risk.’ The platform aims to help bridge this critical gap by providing a structured workflow that includes fix sourcing or creation, patch testing, validation, certification, and deployment.

The challenge of remediation is magnified in open-source software, where unpatched vulnerabilities can quickly cascade across entire enterprise ecosystems. Deloitte’s secure software platform coordinates remediation across the software supply chain, helping organizations move from detection to remediation while preserving developer speed and business agility.

The platform connects existing security tools for continuous vulnerability scanning, prioritizes risk, coordinates remediation workflows, and creates novel patches when they don’t currently exist. This comprehensive approach is designed to streamline the remediation process and reduce the risk of software vulnerabilities.

Deloitte’s secure software platform builds on previous announcements, which include collaborations across its ecosystem to help clients address this problem. The platform is modular by design, assisting clients across the full remediation lifecycle – including software visibility, continuous scanning and discovery, validation and prioritization, remediation factory, vendor and ecosystem management, disclosure and embargo management, and reporting.

The platform is available through three engagement models: fully managed service, custom build-and-transfer, or forward-deployed engineering augmentation of existing client programs. This flexibility allows organizations to choose the approach that best fits their needs and budget.

Deloitte’s use of AI tools for business in this new platform marks a significant step towards making software development more secure. By leveraging Anthropic’s Claude models, Deloitte is helping its clients establish a foundation of software trust that enables them to protect their entire digital ecosystem.

The launch of the secure software platform comes as organizations are increasingly relying on complex software systems to drive business operations. As these systems become more sophisticated, they also become more vulnerable to cyber threats. By providing a comprehensive approach to remediation, Deloitte is helping its clients mitigate this risk and ensure the security of their software supply chain.

Deloitte’s approximately 470,000 people worldwide are working together to connect for impact in the markets that matter most to its clients. With over 180 years of service, Deloitte has established itself as a leader in providing industry-leading audit, consulting, tax, and advisory services to many of the world’s most admired brands.
