State of Software Security 2023: Annual Report on the State of Application Security

In the State of Software Security 2023, our hard data establishes what factors go into flaw introduction, faster remediation, and lower security debt.

We found that in any given month there’s a 27% chance that flaws will be introduced into an app, and there are actions you can take to reduce that probability. Here’s a peak at some of the key factors.

  • Scanning an app each month reduces the probability of flaws being introduced by 0.4% per month.
  • Scanning via API reduces the probability of flaws being introduced by 2.0% per month.
  • Every month that goes by since the last scan increases the probability of flaws being introduced by 1.3% per month.
  • Completing 10 Security Labs Trainings reduces the probability of flaws being introduced by 1.8% per month.
