Developers & Shift-left Security
Adopting new security strategies to strengthen API-first software development
About this Report
In this report, we examine the state of security in enterprise software development. Using data from two global surveys of enterprise developers, we show the extent of security threats and challenges faced by enterprise developers, particularly when using modern development approaches that rely on open and connected environments, with microservice architectures and APIs as foundational building blocks. We find that the majority ofdevelopers have already experienced at least one security exploit in the APIs that they work with.

Methodology
This report provides data from two global surveys of enterprise developers developed collaboratively by Cisco and SlashData. It covers developers’ exposure to API security exploits, their outlook on security, the extent to which developers consider security during the early stages of development, and how they are using automation tools to detect and remediate threats.
