CISOs Don't Invest Enough In Code Security
HelpNet Security, Thursday, January 2nd, 2025
72% of security leaders agree that the age of AI necessitates a complete reset of how organizations approach application security, according to Cycode.
This urgency is reinforced by the fact that 93 billion lines of code were generated in the past year alone, driven in large part by GenAI. This explosion of code is clearly overwhelming security teams, with 73% of security leaders confirming that 'code is everywhere.'
'IDC's latest DevSecOps research highlights that insecure AI-generated code ranks among the top application security challenges for organizations in 2024, aligning with Cycode's insights. This underscores the rising importance of code security as a cornerstone of application security strategies for 2025,' said Katie Norton, Research Manager at IDC. 'As development and threat environments grow more complex, strengthening code security is crucial to safeguarding innovation efforts.'
