The State of Shift Left eBook

After a security breach, it can take years to recover data, harden systems, and rebuild trust — both internally and externally. It’s no surprise, then, that technology teams are pivoting from remediation to prevention. One method of prevention is a “shift left” approach: bringing a security mindset to the earliest stages of the software development lifecycle to identify vulnerabilities early and deploy the most secure code possible.

In partnership with research firm SlashData, Cisco surveyed more than 800 enterprise software developers, architects, and technology executives to understand their progress in shifting security left. The result is a snapshot of the state of shift left security today.
