SDLC SIEM is not a replacement for traditional SIEM platforms.
It is a developer-aware security signal that complements existing SIEM, ASPM, and CNAPP tools by providing visibility into developer actions that lead to security events during the SDLC.
Developer Security Posture Management (DevSPM) acts as the system of record that enables SDLC SIEM use cases by:
Linking scan results and security findings to developer identity and actions
Preserving historical context for development-originated security events
Supplying attribution that traditional SIEM platforms cannot generate
DevSPM fills a critical gap in ASPM and CNAPP by linking scan results to developer and AI agent identity and actions—enabling downstream security workflows, including SIEM correlation.
Most SIEM platforms aggregate logs from infrastructure, runtime, and network layers. When vulnerabilities or incidents originate during development, security teams often cannot determine:
Who introduced the risk
Which action or tool caused it
Whether similar risk patterns exist across teams or workflows
Without developer-aware telemetry, investigations rely on inference rather than evidence.
Developer Security Posture Management provides the missing SDLC context required for meaningful security correlation and root-cause analysis.
Archipelo enables SDLC SIEM by creating a historical record of coding events across the SDLC tied to developer identity and actions.
This developer-aware telemetry enables organizations to:
Correlate scan results and vulnerabilities with developer activity
Support incident investigation and root-cause analysis
Provide audit-ready evidence for compliance workflows
Reduce recurring risk by identifying patterns across teams
Archipelo integrates with existing ASPM and CNAPP stacks to strengthen security programs with developer-aware visibility—not to replace SIEM platforms.
Notable incidents demonstrate the importance of Developer SIEM in addressing risks tied to developer activities and insufficient posture management:
Insider Threats and Identity Mismanagement, Uber Breach (2022):
A hacker exploited compromised developer credentials to access critical systems, emphasizing the need for proactive monitoring of developer activity to detect and mitigate insider threats before they escalate.AI Code Vulnerabilities, GitHub Copilot Security Flaw (2024)
Researchers discovered that AI tools like GitHub Copilot can generate insecure code snippets when working with flawed codebases. This highlights the importance of governing AI-driven code development and detecting insecure code patterns in real-time.
These incidents demonstrate why Developer SIEM is indispensable for securing the development lifecycle, enabling organizations to address vulnerabilities introduced by developer actions swiftly and effectively.
Archipelo provides capabilities the foundational signals required for SDLC-aware security analytics:
Developer Vulnerability Attribution
Trace CVE scan results to the developers and AI agents who introduced them.Automated Developer & CI/CD Tool Governance
Scan developer and CI/CD tools to verify tool inventory and mitigate shadow IT risks.AI Code Usage & Risk Monitor
Monitor AI code tool usage to ensure secure and responsible software development.Developer Security Posture
Monitor security risks of developer actions by generating insights into individual and team security posture.
SDLC SIEM is not a standalone product category.
It is an outcome enabled by Developer Security Posture Management.
By making developer actions observable—human and AI—organizations can:
Improve incident response accuracy
Reduce investigation time
Strengthen compliance evidence
Address root cause instead of symptoms
Archipelo strengthens existing ASPM and CNAPP stacks with Developer Security Posture Management—providing developer-level observability and telemetry that enables SDLC-aware security analytics and investigation.
