Analysis

Modern software development relies heavily on third-party open source components, which are now being utilized at a staggering scale. This scale has led to real innovation around the world as development teams are able to focus on shipping, deploying and delivering value by standing on the shoulders of the open source contributors. With this benefit, comes the cost of risk and pressure on Application Security teams who f ace a constant flood of threats th at even the most experienced organizations struggle to manage effectively. When faced with an ever growing task list and backlog of work, effective teams take to the time-tested method of prioritize the effort so the most important work is done first.
