The State of ASPM - 2025

 The Cycode State of ASPM 2025 report reveals a critical turning point in application security, characterized by the challenges posed by generative AI and exponential code growth. 

Organizations are struggling with an unmanageable attack surface, using an average of 50 security tools that create more complexity than security, leading to significant blindspots and budget visibility issues. 

With 59% of security professionals believing the current attack surface is unmanageable and 77% admitting they lack full understanding of their security spending, the report highlights a growing disconnect between tool proliferation and effective security management. 

The research indicates a strong desire for consolidation, with 88% of professionals wanting to integrate their AppSec tools into a single platform and 90% of those using Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platforms feeling they have a more systematic approach to understanding and mitigating risks. 

The core message is clear: organizations must evolve their approach to application security, prioritizing comprehensive visibility, strategic tool integration, and collaboration between security and development teams to effectively manage the increasingly complex digital landscape.

OWASP Releases Enhanced Dependency-Check Tool with Advanced Tagging and Policy Management Features

 OWASP has released an updated version of its dependency-check tool, version 4.12.0, which identifies vulnerabilities in third-party software components, enforces policy compliance, and generates a CycloneDX-based Software Bill of Materials (SBOM). Key updates include enhanced tag features for improved control over security alerts and SBOM validation, a new tag management view, a global policy violation audit view, and authorization for security status badges. These changes offer more granular control over managing third-party dependencies, though experts note that managing software risk remains an ongoing challenge despite these improvements. https://securityboulevard.com/2024/10/owasps-dependency-check-tool-update-key-changes-and-limitations/ ps.  I think Security Boulevard (https://securityboulevard.com/) is a little bit confused here. https://securityboulevard.com/2024/10/owasps-dependency-check-tool-update-key-changes-and-limitations/ The original news links to Dependency...

The Hidden Cost of DevSecOps: Time and Financial Burden of Security on Developers

 A survey by JFrog, "The Hidden Cost of DevSecOps: A Developer’s Time Assessment," reveals that developers spend a significant amount of time on security-related tasks, costing companies around $28,000 per developer annually. Half of senior developers and team leaders report a notable increase in weekly hours dedicated to security tasks like manual application scans, context switching, and secrets detection. This time detracts from innovation and delivering new applications. JFrog’s CTO, Asaf Karas, emphasized the inefficiency caused by juggling multiple tools and environments, advocating for streamlined security processes to boost efficiency and reduce risks. Many developers spend 19% of their weekly hours on security tasks, often outside regular work hours, resulting in a reactive approach to security. https://informationsecuritybuzz.com/the-hidden-price-of-devsecops/
