8 Mattermost | Unblock Your Workflow have become much more conscious about the code they import into their software relative to the code they write themselves. In response to these trends, software teams across all industries must make security a top priority. Many teams integrate security into a DevSecOps practice to further streamline the development lifecycle. DevSecOps adoption is set to increase in 2022, as security becomes an increasingly integral part of DevOps processes and developer team cultures. Demand for cybersecurity experts is exploding, and it’s predicted to become one of the fastest-growing roles in the next few years. How Security Impacts Productivity: It’s no surprise that both preventing and responding to security incidents are huge resource sinks for engineering organizations. Faster-moving release cycles and increasingly distribut - ed teams only compound security concerns. Resolving security vulnerabilities takes time away from development teams, reducing their ability to focus on shipping new, innovative products and features. Even worse, if incident response workflows aren’t well-ex - ecuted, teams can lose essential time and compound issues when responding to security breaches. “ One of the biggest challenges of remote workforce security is that you just don’t have that same secure perimeter that you used to have. When you’re in a controlled office space, you know exactly what’s going on. You’ve got locking doors, you’ve got cameras, you’ve got access control methods and auditing. You just don’t have that kind of infrastructure in work from home environments.” —IT Director, Nuclear Technology Firm, Tackling remote workforce se - curity challenges post-pandemic
