Global DevSecOps Report on AI Shows Cybersecurity and Privacy Concerns Create an Adoption Dilemma
05 Setembro 2023 - 5:15PM
All Remote – GitLab Inc., the most comprehensive AI-powered
DevSecOps platform, today announced its 9th Global DevSecOps
Report: The State of AI in Software Development. GitLab surveyed
more than 1,000 global senior technology executives, developers,
and security and operations professionals on their successes,
challenges, and priorities for AI adoption.
“The transformational opportunity with AI goes way beyond
creating code,” said David DeSanto, chief product officer, GitLab.
“According to the GitLab Global DevSecOps Report, only 25% of
developers' time is spent on code generation, but the data shows AI
can boost productivity and collaboration in nearly 60% of
developers’ day-to-day work. To realize AI’s full potential, it
needs to be embedded across the software development lifecycle,
allowing everyone involved in delivering secure software, not just
developers, to benefit from the efficiency boost. GitLab’s
AI-powered DevSecOps platform delivers a privacy-first, single
application to help teams deliver secure software faster.”
Key takeaways of the report are:
Data privacy, intellectual property, and security are
top concernsAlthough organizations are enthusiastic about
implementing AI, data privacy and intellectual property are key
priorities when adopting new tools.
- 95% of senior technology executives said they prioritize
privacy and protection of intellectual property when selecting an
AI tool
- 32% of respondents were "very" or "extremely" concerned about
introducing AI into the software development lifecycle; of those:
- 39% cited they are concerned that AI-generated code may
introduce security vulnerabilities and 48% said they are concerned
that AI-generated code may not be subject to the same copyright
protection as human-generated code
Increased developer productivity may widen the existing
divide between developers and security professionals
Security professionals worry that AI-generated code could result in
more security vulnerabilities—making more work for security
professionals.
- Only 7% of developers’ time is spent identifying and mitigating
security vulnerabilities and 11% is spent on testing code
- 48% of developers were significantly more likely to identify
faster cycle times as a benefit of AI, compared to 38% of security
professionals
- 51% of all respondents are already seeing productivity as a key
benefit of AI implementation
Insufficient training and resources causing widening AI
skills gapWhile respondents remain optimistic about their
company’s use of AI, the data indicates a discrepancy between
organizations’ and practitioners’ satisfaction with AI training
resources. Despite 75% of respondents saying their organization
provides training and resources for using AI, a roughly equal
proportion also said they are finding resources on their own,
suggesting that the available resources and training may be
insufficient.
- 81% cited they require training to successfully use AI in their
daily work
- 65% who use, or are planning to use, AI for software
development said their organization hired or will hire new talent
to manage AI implementation
- When asked what types of resources are being used to build AI
skills, the top responses were:
- 49% utilize books, articles, and online videos, 49% watch
educational courses, 47% practice with open-source projects, and
47% learn from peers and mentors
“Enterprises are seeking out platforms that allow them to
harness the power of AI, while addressing potential privacy and
security risks,” said Alexander Johnston, Research Analyst in the
Data, AI & Analytics channel at 451 Research, a part of S&P
Global Market Intelligence. “There is industry demand for
privacy-first, sustainably adopted AI.”

MethodologyThe survey was commissioned by
GitLab and was distributed via GitLab’s social media channels and
email lists. The panel sampling was also conducted by a third-party
research partner in order to reduce bias in the sample.
Responses were collected from 1,001 individual contributors and
leaders in development, IT operations, and security across a mix of
industries and business sizes worldwide in June 2023.
