“ The rest of 2021 will be the year when we officially bury the separate , ‘ after-thefact ’ model of software application security ”
JONATHAN KNUDSEN SENIOR STRATEGIST , SYNOPSYS
Jonathan Knudsen , senior strategist at Synopsys says : “ As more teams adopt the nimble iteration of DevOps , they will not have time for a lengthy security testing cycle . That is why the rest of 2021 will be the year when we officially bury the separate , ‘ after-thefact ’ model of software application security . A culture of continuous improvement , in which automation is fully leveraged to maximise velocity , will allow teams to tune and optimise processes .”
This is expected to result in better security and productivity outcomes , but the bad news
is adversaries continue to outpace them when it comes to finding successful exploit paths to new vulnerabilities . To continue to combat these existential threats , DevOps teams will see better value in threat modelling and security teams in both big and small organisations will collaborate to change the security culture at scale .
The rise of intelligent cybersecurity The reactive approach to cybersecurity will also evolve into what is being called ‘ intelligent cybersecurity ’. This is because the reactive approach along with scanning and manual orchestration tools has led to endless vulnerabilities . In the near future , intelligent machine-generated code which builds security , compliance and infrastructure in minutes will come to be relied on more . The
