Without the widespread developer adoption of security tools, it's extremely difficult to build secure applications in the cloud. Developers aren’t security experts, which is why development teams will leverage application security tools – like SAST, SCA, IaC Scanning, secrets detection, and other technologies – to scan their code and surface vulnerabilities. These tools are often resisted by developers.
