TechSpective’s AppSec and DevSecOps section covers the security of software at the point of creation — where vulnerabilities are introduced, where the cost of fixing them is lowest, and where the pressure to ship fast most often wins out over the discipline to ship securely. Coverage treats application security as a strategic business problem, not just a developer checklist.
Modern application environments look nothing like they did a decade ago. Security teams are no longer dealing with monolithic applications and predictable release cycles, but with constantly evolving systems that require continuous visibility. As a result, application security has increasingly

Dating myself a little here, but I spent time in the trenches on the IT and cybersecurity side back in the early days of vulnerability management. We would run scans and report the results, and it felt productive. But the

Security has always been a “drag” on application development. But with organizations shipping code more frequently, and across multiple environments, that drag is turning into a widening security gap that attackers are quick to exploit. The dangers are based on

Every few years, cybersecurity reaches a point where familiar methods begin to strain under new realities. The shift to the cloud changed how teams thought about infrastructure. DevOps blurred the boundaries between development and operations. Now, artificial intelligence is challenging

I wrote last month that AI has made it easier than ever to produce code—and just as easy to produce insecure code. Development velocity has exploded. So have vulnerabilities. We’re now writing, generating, and deploying software faster than most organizations

Mobile is where customers live. It’s also where privacy goes missing. I spoke recently with NowSecure CEO Alan Snyder and he didn’t mince words: “The mobile app is the best surveillance tool ever created on the planet.” That sticks because
