The need to shift security left in the application development life cycle has become a critical issue in a growing number of organizations, as traditional application security testing can’t keep pace with the speed and velocity of application development. AppSec is finally evolving from a point-in-time process in production to an early and continuous step in the DevOps toolchain, giving rise to applications that are secure from ideation to production.

In this webinar, we’ll look at the state of DevSecOps from the perspective of application security, including some of the trends and best practices organizations need to know.
