Shift Left Testing
“Most defects end up costing more than it would have cost to prevent them. Defects are expensive when they occur, both the direct costs of fixing the defects and the indirect costs because of damaged relationships, lost business, and lost development time. — Kent Beck, "Extreme Programming Explained"
According to the NIST-"resolving defects in production can cost 30 times more and up to 60 times more in case of security defects"
Our Strategy
Security by design - Detect Early, Detect Often
Moving security practices left into the software development lifecycle with the goal of shifting from a reactive to a proactive security posture.
Shifting security left (tighter integration of software security into the software development process) makes testing frequent, automated, and consistent which comes with huge benefits for developers, security and business teams and improved security level of the product.
​
Developers and security have very different domain expertise – it’s not just integrating the practices – it’s finding ways to communicate.
