Security News > 2021 > June > Cybersecurity industry analysis: Another recurring vulnerability we must correct

Gartner's recent Hype Cycle for Application Security report, and Forrester's The State of Application Security 2021 report - both bibles for security experts that undoubtedly help to shape their program and potential product adoption - are almost entirely tools-focused.

Security tooling is a must-have, but we need to look wider and restore balance to the people component of security defense.

The fact is, according to the IBM Cyber Security Intelligence Index Report, human error plays a role in 95% of all successful data breaches.

Humans can always strive to make better tools, but the innovation is not keeping up with the security and data protection needs of the digital world we live in.

If we want to get serious about decreasing the number of code-level security vulnerabilities, then developers need to be given the foundations to succeed in sharing responsibility for security.

Winning developers over to care about security and view secure coding as a foundation of code quality, takes an organization-wide commitment to put security first.
