The study reveals that 92% of companies surveyed had experienced a breach in the prior year due to vulnerabilities of applications developed in-house.
In recent years the responsibility for application security has shifted away from dedicated security teams and is now shared between AppSec managers and developers.
With more software to secure that has been deployed in more environments with less time available to secure it, a remarkable 91% of companies have knowingly released vulnerable applications.
The composition of applications has become more complex, increasing to include source code, open source packages, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), containers and more.
