For today’s DevSecOps teams, the demands continue to intensify. Application portfolios and codebases continue to grow, while cyberattacks remain an ever-present danger. More than ever, it’s vital to ensure security gaps are identified and addressed with maximum speed and efficiency. In order to do this, you need to establish a continuous feedback loop on security threats, so you can realize optimized, sustained results – which is exactly how Veracode helps.

We love open-source software (OSS). Not only does it save time and effort, but it’s also incredibly rewarding to collaborate with other developers on major projects. Plus, it opens the door for innovation that otherwise wouldn’t be possible at this scale. However, with code comes responsibility, and so it’s imperative to understand the risk OSS libraries carry when we’re integrating them into projects.

It’s one of our favorite times of the year – the unveiling of our annual State of Software Security (SoSS) report. Software security issues can have devastating effects on organizations, damaging their financial stability and reputations. That’s why our research this year centered on a crucial question: what can be done to avoid introducing security flaws in the first place?
