Due to the disconnect between the teams, security professionals often purchase application security tools that disregard developers' needs and processes.

The shift left approach helps to bridge the gap between developers and security professionals; it moves security testing and vulnerability management into the earliest stages of development.

The shift left model, supported by an application security program, is not yet fully matured in many organizations.

While application security tools help development and security teams address security and open source license compliance early in development, most won't be up to the challenge of additional regulation, which will require detailed legal analysis.

To ensure shift left practices are implemented effectively, developers need the support of security tools and processes that allow them to create without having to slow down for security compliance.

Adding compliance with regulation to the shift left process will only cause tedious review processes for both security and development teams, and slow down release cycles.
