Summary
The SANS 2023 DevSecOps Survey is a comprehensive report that examines the integration of security practices within software development and operations. The survey's primary objective is to assess the maturity of DevSecOps practices among organizations and to identify trends in cloud usage, security tool adoption, and the skills required for effective security management. Key findings indicate a significant shift towards multi-cloud strategies, with a notable increase in the use of various cloud service providers. The survey highlights challenges such as funding for security tools and emphasizes the importance of communication and professional development in fostering security champions within organizations. The data reveals that cloud-hosted virtual machines remain the preferred choice over containers and serverless functions, and it underscores the growing recognition of DevSecOps as a critical business concern. The report also discusses future trends, including the increasing interest in artificial intelligence and data science to enhance DevSecOps practices.
