Security is increasingly becoming integrated and automated into software development initiatives, and application security (AppSec) specialists often work closely within cross-functional software development teams to improve the security that software organizations create. However, there is still confusion about the role developers play in an organization’s secure software initiatives and how much of the security responsibility rests on the shoulders of developers today.

As a result, the best way to clear up the confusion and address secure coding practices head on is to first acknowledge there is a deficiency, then next, apply a modern approach to developer AppSec awareness and training.
