When it comes to software security, one of the biggest challenges facing developers today is information overload. Thanks in part to the widespread proliferation and use of open-source code (a study by Red Hat showed that 36% of software in use at surveyed organizations was open source), as well as the increasing complexity of the average application, a given project can now be expected to have a massive amount of dependencies. In turn, each of these dependencies represents a potential opportunity for a vulnerability to arise if not properly secured.
Owing to this state of affairs, developers face a new challenge. Automated vulnerability reports generated by scanning tools are returning hundreds, if not thousands of vulnerabilities, and with a great deal of organizations reporting a lack of skilled cybersecurity professionals, teams are already stretched too thin to fix each ..
