You have kicked-off your annual application security assessment, but by the time the final report comes in, so have a bunch of new features from your developers. Since your pen test report can’t keep-up with your modern development cycles, it is now (and always) obsolete. You can check-off your compliance checkbox, but you’re not anymore secure than you were before. If this sounds familiar, it is clearly time for an update.

The modern application landscape is rapidly evolving, creating new tools, technologies, and processes that allow organizations to deploy production code faster. But risks to application security have also changed significantly, requiring the security discipline to evolve in order to adapt to new types of attacks.

We’ve said it before but it bears repeating: application security isn’t optional anymore. Customers at every level are demanding that the applications they use are secure from the start. Software vendors are well aware of this.
