GitLab's 2022 Global DevSecOps Survey: Security is the top concern, investment

The 2022 Global DevSecOps Survey highlights a significant shift towards prioritizing security within DevOps practices, as evidenced by over 5,000 practitioners emphasizing security as the main reason for implementing DevOps platforms and the top investment priority for the year. This change marks a departure from past tendencies where security was often sidelined for faster software releases. The survey reveals that 53% of developers feel fully responsible for security, an increase from previous years, and that nearly half of operations professionals also assume full security responsibility. Despite these advances, challenges remain, such as difficulties in security testing accessibility and the persistent gap between security and development teams regarding bug identification and prioritization. While security professionals rate their current organizational security posture positively, a notable portion feels unprepared for future challenges, with AI emerging as a promising tool to bolster security efforts, overtaking soft skills in importance. The survey also explores other pivotal themes like automation, AI, and compliance, offering a comprehensive view of the evolving DevSecOps landscape.
