Omdia Analyst Report: Developer-focused Security Fuels Productivity for Business Growth
Traditional application security methods can slow down development processes. Mitigating these impacts requires a modernized approach to efficiently incorporate security tools and processes across the software development lifecycle. Developers need to be empowered to secure their own code within their workflows and tools so that they can find and fix issues efficiently. However, developer-focused security must augment, not replace, the efforts of traditional security teams, which means striking the right balance of collaboration between these teams is vital.
To understand these trends and the resulting market dynamics, Omdia executed a survey of 400 IT and cybersecurity professionals at organizations in North America involved with security technology products and services to support secure application development.
This study sought to:
Identify key software development trends impacting security.
Assess how to optimize efficiency across teams to support growth and scale.
Determine the effectiveness of current efforts and solutions supporting secure development.
Examine investment plans for developer-focused security.
