Security debt is a major and growing problem in software development with significant implications for application security, according to Veracode's State of Software Security 2024 Report. Let’s delve a bit deeper into the scope and risk of security debt, and gain some insights for application security managers to effectively address this challenge. Security debt refers to software flaws that remain unfixed for a year or more.

The release of the February 2024 White House Technical Report, Back to the Building Blocks: A Path Towards Secure Measurable Software, brings about a timely shift in prioritizing software security. Software is ubiquitous, so it’s becoming increasingly crucial to address the expanding attack surface, navigate complex regulatory environments, and mitigate the risks posed by sophisticated software supply chain attacks.

Modern software development techniques are creating flaws faster than they can be fixed. While using third-party libraries, microservices, code generators, large language models (LLMs), etc., has remarkably increased productivity and flexibility in development, it has also increased the rate of generating insecure code. An automated and intelligent solution is needed to bridge the widening gap between the introduction and remediation of flaws.

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, developers face increasing pressure to deliver secure applications within tight deadlines. With the emphasis on faster releases, it becomes challenging to prioritize security and prevent vulnerabilities from being introduced into production environments. Integrating dynamic application security testing (DAST) into your CI/CD pipeline helps you detect and remediate vulnerabilities earlier, when they are easier to fix.

Insecure software is significantly impacting our world. In a recent statement, CISA Director Jen Easterly declared: “Features and speed to market have been prioritized against security, leaving our nation vulnerable to cyber invasion. That has to stop... We are at a critical juncture for our national security.”

With a comprehensive AppSec program, you want to understand your entire development, security, and application footprint so you can roll out consistent tools and processes. As a result, only a portion of your applications are covered, leaving vulnerabilities unprotected. And blind spots are clouding visibility into risk reduction efforts, making it difficult to report on progress throughout your organization.

    Today, most organizations are in a race to deliver new, innovative software before their competitors. In turn, they have gone from bi-annual software releases to daily, hourly, or even by-the-minute releases. To keep up with these rapid deployments, security has had to shift from being a late-stage blocker, to an integrated part of the development process. Developers have been doing their best to implement these security measures, but since their performance is often tied to the rate of deployments, speed tends to take precedence. As a security professional, what are some steps you can take so that security doesn't take a back seat to speed?

    Veracode delivers the application security solutions and services today’s software-driven world requires. Veracode’s unified platform assesses and improves the security of applications from inception through production so that businesses can confidently innovate with the web and mobile applications they build, buy and assemble as well as the components they integrate into their environments.

    Veracode’s powerful cloud-based platform, deep security expertise, and systematic, policy-based approach provide enterprises with a simpler and more scalable way to reduce application-layer risk across their global software infrastructures.

    The Veracode Solution:

    • Overcoming DevSecOps Challenges: Innovating through software holds many promises but also bears risks. AppSec programs often struggle with the same problems:
      • Some solutions are hard to manage and scale.
      • Developers are not empowered to fix security issues.
      • Security teams lack bandwidth to manage DevSecOps programs.
      Veracode addresses all of these challenges with a unique combination of automated application analysis in the pipeline, plus DevSecOps expertise for developers and security professionals, all delivered through a scalable SaaS platform.
    • Delivered Through SaaS: Our SaaS model delivers a better, more scalable service at a lower cost. Because we've analyzed over 10 trillion lines of code, Veracode is able to provide the fastest path to accuracy - without tuning. Our expertise is based on analyzing customer programs for over a decade.
    • Application Analysis: Veracode simplifies AppSec programs by combining five application security analysis types in one solution, all integrated into the development pipeline.
    • Developer Enablement: Most AppSec programs forget that there is only one team that can fix security findings: the development team. Veracode provides developers with security feedback in their IDE in seconds as they are writing code, helping them learn on the job.
    • AppSec Governance: AppSec programs can only be successful if all stakeholders value and support them. That’s why Veracode helps security teams to demonstrate the value of AppSec.
