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.

Now in its ninth edition, the 2024 “Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” (OSSRA) report delivers an in-depth look at the current state of open source security, compliance, licensing, and code quality risks in commercial software.

Even as the speed of software development increases, security remains a paramount concern. As organizations strive to keep pace with rapid innovation, they grapple with the dual challenge of maintaining agility while ensuring the security of their software products. Enter AppSec on the Move 2024, a pivotal event that promises to shed light on strategies for improving the return on investment (ROI) of application security (AppSec).

In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a transformative force, reshaping the software development lifecycle. While AI use is still not without risk, it's time to reframe the conversation and explore how AI can enhance and streamline various stages of the SDLC. Let’s take a look at how you can strategically incorporate AI in the SDLC and address lingering concerns.

There is a need for a new approach to AppSec—one that handles business risk without obstructing company growth, eliminates the tradeoff between speed and security, and fulfills the DevSecOps promise. Here are four DevSecOps best practices to help your organization realize this vision with an efficient, effective DevSecOps strategy.
