Why application security tools fail and how DevSecOps fixes security debt
Organizations spend billions annually on cybersecurity tooling and services, with companies averaging more than 70 tools each. Yet security and developer teams still struggle to keep up with rising security debt—the amount of unresolved vulnerabilities that build up over time.
The primary reason for this? Traditional application security tools often fail to meet developer needs. These tools aren’t designed with developers in mind, despite developers being the ones tasked with remediation. The solutions require developers to context switch, forcing them to leave their familiar coding environments and workflows to run manual security tests—increasing cognitive load. Furthermore, most developers aren’t security experts, so fixing vulnerabilities takes far longer than it should.
The end result is that developer productivity gets drained and security debt continues to rise.
