The Digital Economy’s Impact On Your Attack Surface

• The digital-first economy has spurred a massive proliferation of internet facing assets. Fueled by emerging technologies like cloud-native workloads and microservices, along with organizational changes from mergers and acquisitions, businesses of all industries have increased their digital landscape to meet the demands of customers worldwide. As the saying goes, every business is now a software business.
• As a result of these shifts, the software development lifecycle (SDLC) has evolved drastically over the last decade to prioritize both speed and agility. Agile development and incremental releases allow development teams to get software into customers' hands quickly. GitLab’s 2022 Global DevSecOps Survey found that 70% of DevOps teams ship code continuously - at least once per day or every few days.
• With a ballooning inventory of applications and other web-facing assets, security teams are forced to overcome major challenges with visibility and governance in order to effectively manage their attack surface.
• It is recognized that security must be considered and designed from the start in order to mitigate the risk of breaches, which are a major concern for consumers, regulators, and investors. But shifting left doesn't prevent security from becoming a blocker for development or business goals. Engineering teams end up pushing out new code faster than security teams can react, adding security debt and expanding the overall attack surface. A 2022 survey by Secure Code Warriorfound that 67% of developers admit to shipping code containing known vulnerabilities.
