A Censuswide report reveals the biggest security challenges that application security managers and software developers are facing within their organizations in today's threat landscape.

Despite multiple breaches in the last year due to vulnerable applications, 81% of developers remained confident in their ability to build a secure product, showcasing a commitment to selecting the proper tools to protect their organizations.

Forty-nine percent of software developers said they are adopting a DevSecOps model with security as a supply chain focus to lessen their risk of a breach, with 42% of AppSec managers saying the same.

54% of AppSec managers and software developers stated that the shift to the cloud increased their concerns around secure application development.

Each group's challenges differed: AppSec managers struggled the most with adopting cloud native security testing methodologies, whereas software developers had more difficulty with effectively and efficiently monitoring applications running in the cloud.

Software developers said they receive application security and awareness training six times a month on average.
