7 steps to enhance application security without slowing developer velocity

Organizations are increasingly prioritizing application security due to recent high-profile cyberattacks and regulatory requirements such as SOC2 compliance and the U.S. government's software supply chain security mandates. Implementing security scans can pose challenges for development teams, as the volume of data generated from these scans can be overwhelming and potentially slow down the development process. The article outlines a seven-step approach to efficiently integrate security scans without hindering developer velocity, starting with assessing the current development state and pilot testing, followed by enabling and adjusting scan analyzers, prioritizing vulnerabilities for remediation, and incorporating scans into development pipelines. Engaging developers early in the security process and fostering a collaborative environment among development, security, and operations teams are crucial strategies for managing vulnerabilities effectively. Continuous improvement and iterative scaling of the security program across teams are emphasized to ensure comprehensive application security while maintaining development speed.
