Summary

Detectify's insights into modern application security emphasize the importance of security transparency and collaboration between engineering and security teams, especially in organizations utilizing DevOps. CEO Rickard Carlsson highlights a paradigm shift from traditional, compliance-first approaches to a more dynamic, perimeter-less model that encourages innovation by integrating security with development processes. This shift is characterized by the rapid pace and scale of DevOps, where production and pre-production are closely aligned, and security information is shared openly within organizations to foster learning and improvement. Carlsson argues that withholding security results due to mistrust can hinder innovation and that embracing security transparency can lead to better organizational security and product development. Detectify supports this approach by collaborating with ethical hackers to identify vulnerabilities, thus empowering companies to secure their applications more effectively.
