The challenges of code security
Organizations strive to protect their codebase against risks, yet often, the focus on code security tends to emerge later in the development lifecycle rather than as an initial investment in secure-by-design practices. This common approach not only increases business risks but also escalates maintenance and remediation costs. By delaying the early integration of code security measures, a substantial burden is placed on development teams to retroactively tackle security issues, which in turn can significantly slow down project delivery. This delayed security focus undermines efforts to enhance the security posture, leading to software that may fulfill functional needs but falls short in crucial aspects of security and overall quality.
