Forbes Spotlights Cypress Data Defense Research on Application Security Crisis

Forbes recently published an article featuring Steve Kosten, Director of Application Security at Cypress Data Defense, as a primary expert voice on the state of application security in 2025. The piece, titled "The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Application Security" by contributor Tony Bradley, draws extensively from our 2025 State of Application Security Report and positions Cypress Data Defense at the forefront of industry expertise on this critical issue. Steve is quoted throughout the article, offering insights on why application security continues to lag behind other security investments, the real meaning behind organizations shipping insecure code, and the growing role of managed service providers in solving these challenges. He explains that AppSec remains "the younger brother of network security" and highlights how organizations need to move beyond viewing security as a compliance checkbox toward treating it as a core design principle.

The Forbes coverage amplifies key findings from our survey of 250 senior IT and security leaders across North America, including:

  • 62% of organizations knowingly release insecure code to meet deadlines
  • 57% wait until right before deployment to involve security
  • 83% of security professionals are open to outsourcing AppSec support
  • Average U.S. breach costs have climbed to $9.48 million

For organizations looking to address these challenges, our EASy managed service helps teams integrate security throughout their development lifecycle rather than bolting it on at the end.
