Insight No. 1, We are frogs, falling asleep in security-debt stew
Companies are drowning in high-risk software security debt, with critical vulnerabilities festering for an average of 252 days before they’re fixed, long enough to turn your tech stack into a hacker’s swamp. The old-guard application security tools, like Static Application Security Testing (SAST), are failing spectacularly, proving as effective as a paper umbrella in a hurricane. Enter Application Detection and Response (ADR), the bold, real-time solution that doesn’t just spot threats but neutralizes them on the fly, keeping pace with today’s breakneck development cycles. While SAST is stuck in the past, ADR is the future: proactive, agile and built for the chaos of modern software. Clinging to outdated tools isn’t just risky, it’s a fast track to breach headlines. The choice is clear: Evolve to ADR or get left behind in the wreckage. Your move, tech world.
