We recently released the State of DevSecOps study, in which we analyzed tens of thousands of applications and cloud environments to assess adoption of best practices that are at the core of DevSecOps today. In particular, we found that: In this post, we provide key recommendations based on these findings, and we explain how you can leverage Datadog Application Security Management (ASM) and Cloud Security Management (CSM) to improve your security posture.

You know your latest web application is inherently vulnerable to all kinds of attacks. You also know app security can never be perfect, but you can make it better tomorrow than it was yesterday. The problem is that whether you’re using enterprise-grade (aka, expensive and complex) security tools, or have cobbled together a handful of open-source projects into a CI/CD pipeline or Git commit hooks and are hoping for the best, your toolkit can’t help you see.

Years of accumulated security debt due to unaddressed software vulnerabilities and inadequate security configurations plague the applications that support our government functions. The age and size of applications play a significant role in the accumulation of security debt. The State of Software Security 2024 report provides a detailed analysis of how these factors correlate with security vulnerabilities, particularly in older and larger applications.

In a world with frequent technological changes, maintaining the trustworthiness and protection of your data and systems should be of paramount importance. With technology constantly evolving for the better, dangers and susceptibility could also make your online security more extraordinary. This is where the issues of network security and application security appear, which may be referred to as two complementary subtopics.
