Developers want to create secure code, but lack training, so they must rely on AppSec experts to create secure applications. But the severe cybersecurity talent shortage leads to:
• Security positions often remaining open for extended periods
• Companies paying a premium to fill security roles
• In-house security staff drowning in work and unable to provide full support
As a result, developers are often conducting their own security research, which takes substantial time, increasing software delays and costs.
