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.
