Survey Surfaces Multiple Persistent DevSecOps Challenges
DevOps.com, Tuesday, July 29th, 2025
A survey of 250 senior IT and security leaders based in North America, published today, finds that 62% work for organizations that knowingly release insecure code to meet delivery deadlines.
Conducted by Cyber Data Defense, a provider of application and network security services and TechStudio, a provider of managed IT services, the survey also finds nearly 90% of respondents work for organizations that only allocate 11-20% of their security budgets to application security. Just 1% invest more than 20% of their total security budget in application security, the survey finds.
Despite recent advances in the adoption of best DevSecOps practices, only 36% said their organization involves security at the planning stages of application development, with well over half (57%) waiting until just before deployment.
