2023 Predictions For Modern Application Security
Legit Security, January 9th, 2023
Software dominates the world and remains a big and accessible attack surface.
In 2022, an estimated $6B was invested in Application Security, with that number expected to reach $7.5B in 2023. Within AppSec, software supply chain security entered the spotlight two years ago and represents AppSec's fastest growing attack category with major headlines of breaches and exploits happening on a regular basis.
Within this backdrop, a few related mega trends are apparent for the near future of Application Security. First is the growing complexity of development pipelines and dependencies on third-parties in pre-production development environments. Second is the growing synergy between application security and cloud security. Both trends define future security challenges and our predictions for modern application security.
