5 reasons why developers at FinServ institutions are outpacing their security teammates

Developers at Financial Services (FinServ) institutions are outpacing their security teammates due to several reasons. These include adoption of new technologies and processes, infrastructure-as-code (IaC), complex multi-cloud environments, microservices architecture, automation in development, and the use of generative AI for coding. As a result, traditional security tools often fail to keep up with these developments, leading to potential vulnerabilities and threats. To address this issue, application security teams need new approaches that can effectively secure cutting-edge financial applications while keeping pace with fast-paced development pipelines.
