The Checkmarx annual report reveals a significant shift in application security's role in software purchasing decisions, with buyers placing increasing importance on security measures. 49% of CISOs report that application security is regularly considered in purchases, especially in Europe where regulations drive this trend. As development teams take the lead on security decisions and budgets, there is a growing disconnect, with reports indicating that many applications remain unsecured. However, the appetite for increased AppSec budgets is rising, suggesting organizations recognize the need for stronger security measures.
We're witnessing a pivotal change: AppSec is now a competitive differentiator, a budget priority and a boardroom issue.
As development teams take greater ownership, CISOs must focus on governance, strategy and collaboration to keep security outcomes on track.
