The financial industry’s digital transformation is highly reliant on applications, just like the rest of the software development ecosystem. This requires everyone involved to invest in application security management as part of the effort to protect their data and systems.

Last year brought a lot of change. Companies across the globe had to pivot, ready or not, and many went fully remote just like we did here at Veracode.

A collaborative approach between SecOps and DevOps is key to any successful security integration - particularly as developers and security teams have different priorities from the get-go. In this blog we will share 4 tips for getting developers on board to enable true DevSecOps for your business.

Today, more than ever before, development organizations are focusing their efforts on reducing the amount of time it takes to develop and deliver software applications. While this increase in velocity provides significant benefits for the end users and the business, it does complicate the process for testing and verifying the function and security of a release.

Whether a seasoned professional or a fresh computer science grad, every developer has his or her stressful moments of trying to dig through scanning results to mitigate or remediate a vulnerability. Since you work at the speed of “I need this yesterday,” it’s a hassle to slow down and fix flaws or even stop to rewrite code entirely. Effective AppSec today is about executing essential application security (AppSec) tests as you’re writing code.

Veracode was recently named the winner of IT Central Station’s 2021 Peer Award for application security testing (AST). Winners were chosen based on reviews from verified customers to help prospective buyers make well-informed, smart business decisions. “Receiving positive feedback from our customers on the leading technology review site for cybersecurity, DevOps, and IT is a true testament to our products and services,” said Mark Bissell, Chief Customer Officer at Veracode.

The key to successfully implementing DevOps practices is relationships. It’s about breaking down the existing silos between different functions that deliver software, like development and operations. These functions need to work toward a common goal, efficient software delivery.

To keep up with the pace of the modern world, organizations are constantly looking for ways to release software faster than their competitors. This “need for speed” has led many organizations to adopt DevSecOps. With DevSecOps, security is moved earlier in the software lifecycle, into the realm of developers. As a result of the changing development landscape, application security testing has also been evolving.
