Styra released a research report which explores how in sync, or misaligned, IT leaders and developers are when it comes to cloud-native technology use and security during their digital transformation journeys.

As organizations increase adoption, the report outlines why developers and IT decision-makers need a unified approach in addressing security and compliance.

Even with confidence in an organization's security, IT decision makers and developers need to increase alignment on who owns policy, compliance and cloud security responsibilities in order to make operations seamless.

42% of developers said it is the security teams' job.

"We're seeing firsthand in our community the changing dynamics around security and policy, especially with new trends like shift left, everything-as-code and DevSecOps. While it's great to see both developers and IT decision-makers aligned around the importance of cloud-native security, they need to start looking at it with a unified approach."

Developers believe migrating legacy applications to the cloud and building production, customer-facing cloud applications should come first.
