Security Boulevard, Tuesday, May 13th, 2025
A global survey of 200 CISOs suggests responsibility for application security is shifting more toward the teams building and deploying software.
Conducted by Global Surveyz on behalf of Checkmarx, a provider of security tools for application development teams, the survey of CISOs at organizations with annual revenues exceeding $750 million that have 180 or more application developers, the survey finds responsibility for application security is becoming increasingly decentralized, with 43% having moved oversight of this responsibility to the teams build products.
