My prediction is that company will adopt SCA tools into their CI/CD to manage open-source related risks.
The log4j vulnerability pulled the open-source vulnerability awareness trigger for software consumers and the lack of management by the software creators. All software should be managed to avoid open-source vulnerability during development (for low fixing cost) and post-production (for trusted relationships with your customers).
Currently, there is no official regulation on that but soon the White House executive order will take place and all federal suppliers will have to provide SBOM (software bill of materials) with their software and commit for vulnerability management.

Infrastructure as a Code scripts testing, API security testing and SCA will gain more relevance and importance this year.
Customers may also like to have a modular framework to pick and choose different areas of DevSecOps (SAST, SCA, DAST, IAST, OAST, etc) as per their needs and not to pay heavy license costs for owning a platform that offers everything but may not be required by the customer as a priority.
Application Security Tools are essential for safeguarding software applications from potential threats and vulnerabilities, ensuring data integrity and protection.
These tools play a crucial role in the software development lifecycle by identifying, mitigating, and preventing potential security threats. They offer a range of functionalities, from static and dynamic analysis to runtime protection, allowing developers to maintain robust security postures. Many organizations leverage these...
