Laura Bell Main, author of Agile Application Security and founder of SafeStack, recently presented a webinar titled Decoding Dev Culture 2024, in which she provided a “from the ground view” of security in 2024. Drawing from her experience, and a 12-month SafeStack survey, Bell discussed the need for DevSecOps practioners to move away from an overfocus on SAST and other tooling. She advocated for a better understanding of the developer experience associated with security processes and tooling. Bell explained that effective security ownership can be encouraged through improved communication, and positively impacting engineer productivity.
