Cloud-native Security Maturity: Using Security to Drive Software Development Efficiency

Meeting the demands of dynamic environments and faster software development cycles with cloud native development brings new security challenges. How do you know if your organization has the proper technologies and processes in place to secure its cloud native environment?

If your answer is “it's complicated,” a new resource offers practical insights. We partnered with market research firm ESG to survey 1,000 senior IT and security decision-makers worldwide to learn how they secure applications and underlying platforms, which tools they use, how they finesse systems and processes into organizational alignment, and the ways they leverage controls. Then, we benchmarked their development processes and security program maturity.

Our findings showed compelling gains for mature organizations:

• Mature security programs put organizations in a better position to beat revenue goals and the competition.
• Organizations with mature security programs scan code at each stage of the lifecycle, allowing them to respond to vulnerabilities 28% faster than average.
• Development teams at leading organizations are 4.2X more likely to see their security teams as business enablers.
• Organizations with mature security programs experience fewer security incidents.
• Security program maturity correlates to operational excellence and enables more functionality and on-time product delivery.

As critical workloads move to the cloud, teams have to make sure that their security programs advance and improve as they evolve. This e-book gives you a head start – straight from the insights of IT and security pros.
