The way companies develop and depend on software has changed – and never has it exposed them to more risk.
As the primary driver of the world’s digital transformation, the software is becoming increasingly multifaceted and complex through interconnectivity, mobile, microservices, APIs, cloud, open-source, IoT, and even machine learning and AI. Software risks are measurably increased due to mistakes made in the design, coding, testing, and maintenance of software.
Once you understand the full scale of your software risk, you realize security must be inseparable from development. Now, Software = Security. When software is everywhere, everything becomes an attack surface.
The root cause of many successful cyberattacks lies primarily in vulnerable software itself. The real question that needs to be asked is, “Can the industry do a better job of writing more-secure code, making software applications nearly impenetrable to cyberattacks?”
