Security was once an afterthought in software design, but today it’s an increasingly critical aspect of application development, from design through deployment and beyond. The volume of applications developed, distributed, used and updated over networks is rapidly expanding.
As a result, application security practices must address an increasing variety of threats. It’s even more complicated when cloud-native applications built using microservices and containers are thrown into the mix. It is not enough for application security programs to operate by focusing only on compliance. Modern AppSec programs must go deeper and answer much more complicated questions about the integrity of each software component.
