Key Insights on Security Debt and Vulnerability Escape Rate Trends (New Report) - Part 1

The more application security debt an organization carries, the greater the risk and operational inefficiencies. Contrast Security's CTO and Co-founder Jeff Williams and CISO David Lindner reflect on security debt findings in Contrast's 2021 Application Security Observability Report in this Inside AppSec podcast—the first show in a series of three on the report. Areas of discussion include observations on the time required to achieve median time to remediate resolved vulnerabilities and the average amount of time required to remediate a vulnerability (as compared to legacy application security tools). The podcast also covers the newly formulated vulnerability escape rate—the average number of new vulnerabilities introduced over the period of the past year per application—which highlights the importance of just-in-time security learning for developers. 2021 Application Security Observability Report:https://www.contrastsecurity.com/2021-observability-report
