In the era of high-profile data breaches, rampant ransomware, and a constantly shifting government regulatory environment, development teams are increasingly taking on the responsibility of integrating security design and practices into all stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).

In DZone’s Application Security Trend Report, readers will discover how the shift in security focus across the SDLC is impacting development teams — from addressing the most common threat agents and attack vectors, to exploring the best practices and tools being employed to develop secure applications. Readers will also find observations and analyses of survey results from our research, as well as expert contributor insights covering topics including:

• Security solutions for cloud-based mobile & IoT apps
• Best practices for securing CI/CD pipelines
• Designing secure authentication & identity management
• Security-first architectural patterns
• OWASP’s application security testing checklist
• And much more!
