Organizations are reporting a strong relationship between security and engineering, with more than three-quarters of respondents to a new report highlighting a transition from DevOps to DevSecOps, according to the pentest as a service platform provider Cobalt.io.

"As web applications become more complicated and scanners improve efficiency, this report reveals a widespread need for applying security fundamentals to complex problems," said Vanessa Sauter, security strategy analyst at Cobalt.io, in a statement.

The majority of respondents reported a strong relationship between security and engineering as organizations are making the transition from DevOps to DevSecOps and embracing an "Everyone is a part of the security team" approach.

"With increased demand for pentesting and higher expectations for application security, the relationship between security and engineering hinges on operational efficiency through automation."

The findings were based on more than 1,200 pentests conducted through the Cobalt.io platform between Jan. 1, 2019 to Dec. 31, 2019 as well as survey responses from more than 100 practitioners in security, development, operations, and product roles regarding application security.
