Organizations are grappling with a complex array of application security challenges, exacerbated by the rapid adoption of generative AI, inconsistent coding standards, and the absence of a cohesive security toolset. With roughly 63% of applications containing flaws in first-party code and an even higher 70% in third-party components1, the landscape is fraught with vulnerabilities. These issues are compounded by the fact that third-party flaws take 50% longer to fix compared to first-party ones2, leading to significant security debt in 42% of applications3—affecting 71% of all organizations4. This underscores the urgent need for integrated and proactive security measures throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to mitigate risks and enhance cyber resilience.
