Information security pros may be a thorn in developers’ sides, but, in reality, they need each other, and they know it. New Relic just released the results from a survey of both developers and security pros. They found much more agreement than you would think. At least 79 percent of both groups reported each security issue to be at least a moderate concern. As security functionality continues to shift left in the software development life cycle, security pros hope developers will do more than pay lip service to their concerns. On the flip side, security pros have a responsibility to communicate their high-level requirements, and not micromanage how coders meet them.
