As the software development life cycle becomes ever more complex and threats in the multi-cloud environment proliferate, security teams feel increasing pressure to tackle application security with more sophisticated tools and practices.
Application programming interfaces (APIs) represent a rapidly growing attack surface and an area where teams feel exceptionally vulnerable. Moreover, high-profile supply chain attacks have also become more common as code bases now rely heavily on open-source components.
Data from Dark Reading’s recent survey on the state of code security indicates that many organizations are only beginning to shift their security postures in response to this landscape.
While they’re well aware of software supply chain attacks and feel vulnerable in that regard, most have not yet adopted dedicated tools to test APIs or code dependencies.
