How AppSec has evolved in 2021: Reddit’s perspective

Snyk recently held a roundtable discussion with Reddit to discuss application security in 2021, highlighting how organization size impacts AppSec implementation, focusing on smaller teams needing quick and centralized solutions, while larger organizations can invest in more comprehensive tools that better align with business requirements. A fragmented tech stack is also a challenge, requiring companies to balance developer freedom with the need for consistency and commonality of processes to maintain security and reduce overhead. Developer-friendly application security tooling is crucial for adoption, with security teams focusing on enablers of quality instead of blockers, and AppSec evolving to include areas such as infrastructure and cloud security, with separate teams or bundled capabilities depending on organizational structure and assets.
