Les 3 tendances tech qui vont redéfinir le rôle du développeur dans les 5 prochaines années

… requêtes et rester maître de la conversation. Il faut travailler cette compétence sans se laisser abandonner à la vibe. Dès aujourd’hui, et rester vigilant comme avec le lait sur le feu. Le DevSecOps fait partie des tendances tech 2026. On a fait un webinar sur le sujet chez Insitoo, en live sur Linkedin, en replay sur Youtube. Avec le Cloud et l’IA, la Cybersécurité est le troisième secteur qui continue de résister à la crise depuis 2023. Encore cette année, la France a été championne des fuites de données. Et cela explique pourquoi tout le monde investit dans la sécurité de ses systèmes informatiques. Pour les Devs, la pipeline logiciel va adopter de nouveaux antagonistes : le SBOM, le SAST et le DAST. J’explique ces gros mots. La menace : les attaques sur la supply chain logicielle. De Log4J à Shai-Hulud, un ver répliquant qui a contaminé plusieurs centaines de paquets NPM, on a connu une dizaines d’attaques sur la supply chain. On peut citer `ua-parser-js`, xz-utils, `es-lint-config-prettier`, `Vidar`. Les incidents sont tous variés, tous nouveaux. Et cela ne va pas se calmer en 2026. Le SBOM devient une tendance phare en 2026. Vous avez peut-être connu en industrie le BOM, le Bill of Materials : la liste des pièces nécessaires pour assembler un iPhone ou une imprimante. Le SBOM, ou Software Bill of Materials, applique exactement le même principe au logiciel. Une étude de 2024 montrait que 51 % des entreprises n’ont toujours pas de SBOM. Pourtant, sa généralisation est actée : il devient obligatoire avec le Cyber Resilience Act à partir de 2027, et en France, l’ANSSI le mentionne dans ces guides parus en 2025. L’enjeu, c’est la capacité à savoir ce qui se trouve dans son logiciel. C’est exactement ce que le SBOM apporte. Les éditeurs de CI/CD comme Github proposent déjà des scanners de dépendances. Un format, le CycloneDX a l’air de s’imposer comme un standard. Et ils déploient également des SAST et

AI Act for Developers : comprendre les 5 niveaux de risques

… c’est utilisé pour influencer quelqu’un à prendre une mauvaise décision. Tant que ton IA n’a pas d’impact majeur et ne remplace pas la décision d’un humain, c’est carte blanche. Pas besoin de supervision ni de documentation particulière. Niveau 2 : Risque limité. C’est le niveau où la transparence devient obligatoire. Ces systèmes doivent informer l’utilisateur qu’il parle à une IA, ou qu’il voit un contenu généré par une IA. On y trouve notamment : Chatbots et assistants virtuels, surtout quand ils se font passer pour des agents humains IA génératives produisant du contenu (texte, image, audio, vidéo) Filtres deepfake et avatars réalistes Recommandations personnalisées qui influencent la perception (classement de profils, classement d’articles, etc.) Précision importante : générer des images peut rester du risque minimal selon l’usage. La distinction dépend du contexte : si un contenu généré peut tromper un utilisateur qui ignore qu’il s’agit d’une IA, alors il faut clairement le signaler. Niveau 3 : Haut risque. Ici on parle des systèmes IA qui peuvent impacter directement la vie, les droits ou la sécurité d’une personne. Et le texte de loi a prévu tout un lot de contraintes et de sanctions. Les domaines sont clairement nommés : recrutement, crédit, formation, diagnostic médical, un contrôle d’identité. Tous ces moments où tu peux être discriminé, où d’habitude un humain t’ouvre la porte, ou la ferme. Aux états-unis, la justice a demandé à l’ATS Workday de fournir les données d'entraînement de son HiredScore. Faute de documentation. Pourtant la défense des citoyens montre que l’HiredScore a rejeté automatiquement les candidats de plus de 40 ans. C’est probablement un biais de sur-apprentissage. L’algorithme a été entraîné sur un jeu de données qui était discriminant et l’a amplifié. Du coup si cet apprentissage n’est pas bien supervisé et bien documenté, on ne
