"Software Vulnerabilities Are Declining, but Third-Party Risks Still Linger"

Synopsys' security testing service revealed a significant decrease in software vulnerabilities from 2020 to 2022. According to Synopsys, 97 percent of tests on target applications identified severe vulnerabilities in 2020. However, this fell to 95 percent in 2021 and then to 83 percent in 2022. This improvement could be attributed to the increased adoption of practices such as automated testing and code reviews, which have effectively reduced exploitation opportunities for hackers. However, the security company emphasizes that certain areas still pose a higher risk to organizations. In 2022, one in four tests discovered vulnerable third-party libraries that threaten application security. This article continues to discuss key findings from Synopsys' "Software Vulnerability Snapshot" report.
