Developers are increasingly required to incorporate security and compliance checks early in the software development process, a practice known as "shift left," due to the rapid evolution of DevOps and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats. As businesses digitize their operations, they become more vulnerable to software vulnerabilities and cyberattacks, emphasizing the need for secure DevOps practices, or DevSecOps. The cost of poor software quality was estimated at $2 trillion in 2020, with much of it attributed to unpatched vulnerabilities. Software supply chain attacks, such as the notorious SolarWinds hack, highlight the need for stringent security measures, as these attacks are rising and often target third-party code. To address these challenges, integrating security checks into the development lifecycle helps mitigate risks earlier, reducing costs and improving software quality. Tools like the JFrog DevOps Platform facilitate this approach by automating security and compliance assessments from development through to production, ensuring vulnerabilities are addressed promptly and efficiently.
