As we approach the second half of 2023, both security and development teams are seeing seismic shifts in the application security world. AI is powering a productivity revolution in development, enabling developers of all types (and even non-developers) to introduce code faster than ever. Meanwhile, it’s more difficult than ever for developers and AppSec professionals to identify and prioritize true risk to the business.
When it comes to merger and acquisition activity – 2023 is poised to be an active year despite uncertain macroeconomic conditions.
