Empowering Developers To Build Secure Software Faster

Empowering developers to build secure software faster I: Teams need a different approach to 3 application security II: The solution that empowers developers 5 III: How GitHub can help 7 IV: Conclusion 11 GITHUB’S SECURITY OFFERINGS     I: Teams need a different approach to application security These days, developers are expected to build code and ship software faster than ever before. In fact, over 80% of top-performing engineering teams deploy software multiple times per day. To keep up with this demand for speed and innovation, developers are adopting open-source software (OSS), including culture, best practices, and frictionless code reuse—which can increase productivity by up to

As an industry, we’ve recognized OSS’ power and have created DevOps tools that support developers and organizations to collaborate, innovate, and ship faster. However, security got left behind. Despite the energy around DevOps growth and the billions of dollars invested into application security testing tools, we still don’t have effective security solutions. Today’s grim security stats bear witness: 85% of applications still contain known vulnerabilities.

WE FORGOT SECURITY. DEVSECOPS IS WHAT DEVOPS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FROM THE BEGINNING.” – “ WILLIS

P—3 GITHUB’S SECURITY OFFERINGS   Did you know that a line of code written in 2020 is just as likely to introduce a security vulnerability as one written in 2016? Potential vulnerabilities found in source code scale with lines of code written While billions of dollars have been invested in OSS security, traditional methods have failed.

OF APPLICATIONS CONTAIN KNOWN VULNERABILITIES WITH MOST BREACHES OCCURRING AT THE APPLICATION LAYER Remediation remains a challenge across all testing types and often takes longer than six months. P—4
