In late 2023, Synopsys released the “Global State of DevSecOps” report. The report explored crucial topics in the realm of DevSecOps and outlined practical approaches for implementing effective, resilient, and scalable application security (AppSec) approaches. These approaches can help organizations strengthen their AppSec programs in 2024.

In the realm of software development, DevSecOps has emerged as a transformative approach, merging the agility of DevOps with valuable security measures. As a methodology, DevSecOps is about proactively embedding security into the very fabric of the development process, ensuring that every code commit, feature addition, and software release is scanned and thoroughly reviewed for vulnerabilities.

We recently spoke to a focus group of security professionals, software engineers and developers for a discussion on DevSecOps. We’ve quoted a few of them throughout this article.

By implementing security metrics that are as demonstrable as uptime and performance SLAs, DevSecOps leaders can showcase their engineering prowess in security.Measuring security in terms of MTTR, MTTD, Detection rate, Exposure window, as well as velocity, coverage, and uptime, can drive its evolution and development, providing similar automation, observability, and capabilities available in engineering.We encourage you to read this informative article, written by Daniel Koch, our very own VP of engineerin

In this blog post, we discuss how you can manage your security tools in your SDLC.It was great to partner with Daniel Begimher from AWS on this post in The New Stack,

"If we foster a dev-sec mindset from the earliest lines of code, we’ll better prepare our developers for emerging threats and risks and make compliance processes a much lighter lift for our organizations."You can learn more from our CISO, Chris Koehnecke. ‍

There is no doubt that Google is one of the most innovative companies. In fact, if you want to find or compare others, you'll likely Google it. From search engines to smartphones, it has shaped our digital lives. And with its cloud solution, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), its impact in the cloud arena is no different. However, no amount of innovation can make GCP attack-proof. The cloud is home to increasingly more threats, and they come with a hefty price tag.

Programs and apps are a manifestation of ideas in a digital format. If you can dream it in other languages, WebAssembly can deliver it to the browser. From games ported from Unity to PDF editing on the web and leveraging interactive data from Jupyter and Rust, WebAssembly’s use cases are countless. WebAssembly (Wasm) is gaining traction to deliver high-performance client-side code that often cannot be created or executed by JavaScript, at least not in a performant way.

We often talk about the disparate experience in the security ecosystem versus the dev-tooling world. Where developer experience has begun taking center stage in the world of dev-first and cloud native, security experience is still quite lacking across the board in our ecosystem. (I would try to coin the term DevSecEx similar to DevSecOps with a focus on DevEx, but it just doesn’t have the same ring.
