Why DevOps Teams Need to Unify Application Security

Code_at_Risk_hero_image_2x

Too many applications are being built using code that is unsafe. According to the Ponemon Institute, 76% of applications have at least one security flaw. NIST has found that the average enterprise app contains over 26 vulnerabilities. 

This is happening due to the demand for faster development. It’s also the result of traditional AppSec that is no longer fit for purpose in a world of cloud-based apps, microservices, GenAI code creation and containerization. 

And this is real business risk, contained in every line of vulnerable code.  

So how can you contain that risk without slowing down development? The answer is fundamentally reimagining how security integrates with those building your application. 

In this position paper, explore these crucial issues in more depth to better understand where the code risk might lie in your organization. Then take a proactive approach by considering how you can change your structure and culture to enjoy both the security and speed your business demands. This includes: 

  • Setting the stage for the successful unification of DevOps. 
  • How to obtain centralized visibility from Code to Cloud. 
  • Ensuring tool integration across teams, stages, and processes. 

 

Tomorrow can’t wait 

Organizations that invest in unified application security today will be tomorrow’s leaders – trusted, agile, and secure by design.
