Rising Flaws, and Slow to Fix: What’s at Stake for Software Security?


Posted on in Podcasts

The majority of applications contain at least one security flaw and fixing those flaws typically takes months. Automating scanning and scanning via API can help development teams fix faster by a pretty wide margin. Veracode’s Chris Eng and Cyentia’s Jay Jacobs explore what’s driving the volume of code flaws, what factors influence fix rates, how organizations with higher fix rates are tackling the problem successfully, and automation as a best practice for DevSecOps and an action developers can take to "nurture" their apps to better security.
