JFrog Ltd. released findings from an IDC InfoBrief titled 'The Hidden Cost of DevSecOps: A Developer’s Time Assessment,' which was sponsored by the company. The study revealed that developers are spending a significant amount of time on security-related tasks, leading to substantial costs for organizations.
According to the IDC survey, companies spend an average of $28,000 per developer annually on identifying, evaluating, and addressing software security concerns. Half of the senior developers, team leaders, product owners, and development managers surveyed reported spending an estimated 19% of their weekly hours on these security tasks.
Asaf Karas, CTO of JFrog Security, noted that securing the software supply chain becomes more complex with multiple tools, forcing developers to switch between environments, which leads to inefficiencies and increased risk. The study makes a compelling case for investing in streamlined security processes and tooling to empower developers and protect the software supply chain more efficiently.
