Deadlines vs. secure code: What AppSec teams can do 

Surveys by Cypress Data Defense and Checkmarx indicate most organizations knowingly release vulnerable code due to delivery pressures, fragmented security tooling, and alert fatigue; experts recommend mitigating this through contractual safeguards (e.g., SLAs, secure development warranties, RACI), continuous monitoring and automated validation, business-contextual risk scoring/tiering (CVSS/EPSS/SSVC), and transparency via SBOMs, due diligence, and independent testing, with dynamic third-party monitoring as software and dependencies evolve.
