Survey Surfaces Lots of Room for DevSecOps Improvement
Security Boulevard, Wednesday, January 28th, 2026
A survey of 506 cybersecurity leaders and practitioners working for organizations with more than 500 employees, published today, finds that while 80% report security and DevOps teams are using shared observability tools, less than half (45%) say the two teams are very aligned on tooling and workflows compared to 43% that said these teams are somewhat aligned
Conducted by the research firm UserEvidence on behalf of Sumo Logic, the survey also finds 93% of respondents work for organizations using at least three security operations tools, with 45% using six or more. More than half (55%) said they have too many point solutions in their security stack and all (100%) agreed that a unified platform for logs, metrics, and traces would be valuable for their security and DevOps teams.
Chas Clawson, vice president of security strategy at Sumo Logic, said the survey makes it clear that there is still significant room for improvement when it comes to collaboration between DevOps and cybersecurity teams even though many of them are now finally using the same observability tools and platforms.
