5 things to know from our LinkedIn Live Security Deep Dive

GitLab's October LinkedIn Live broadcast highlighted the challenges and advancements in application security, focusing on the GitLab 17.5 release. As software development accelerates, security teams struggle to keep pace, with 66% of companies shipping code twice as fast as last year, yet 55% of security teams find vulnerabilities post-merge. GitLab's new Advanced SAST technology, acquired from Oxeye, enhances security testing with cross-file scanning and a code flow view for tracing vulnerabilities. A secret push protection feature prevents sensitive information from being committed, saving remediation time. AI-powered GitLab Duo now offers contextual security assistance during merge requests, while static reachability for Python and Java reduces false positives by identifying relevant dependencies. These innovations aim to close the security gap and improve the efficiency of DevSecOps practices.
