In the past year, software-driven organizations have faced some of the biggest challenges in order to keep pace with the digital transformation they are experiencing. As a result, moving to new software development methodologies like DevOps to speed time to market - while doing it securely - is now top of mind. The need to better serve clients digitally is imperative and software developers and AppSec teams are expected to deliver increasingly secure applications to do so. Therefore, CISO’s of software-driven organizations are being tasked with taking immediate actions to improve application security without slowing development and time to release.
