"The findings confirm our belief that security teams must make improving their relationship with developers a major priority in 2022," said Harshil Parikh, CEO of Tromzo.

"They can do this by making security easy for developers. This means integrating security checks into the SDLC and transitioning from security gates to security guardrails so security can become a first-class citizen once and for all."

If security teams are confident that security precautions are being implemented in the development environment when they are not, there exists an increased risk of a severe security incident.

Reducing friction between developers and security would have the most significant impact on improving the application security program.

Any attempt to minimize conflict between security and a development team that doesn't include shifting security left is not likely to succeed.

We must transition from security gates to security guardrails that empower developers to develop secure code.
