Pynt Benchmark Report Reveals: 97% Use Security Tools, But Struggle to Shift Left Effectively
Thursday, May 29, 2025
TEL AVIV, Israel, May 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new industry study by Pynt, The Shift Left Adoption Benchmark Report, finds that while 47% of organizations claim to have implemented Shift Left security strategies, many still struggle with execution and enforcement.
Since Shift Left security was introduced, companies have been trying to live up to its promise: identifying and addressing security issues earlier in the software development lifecycle, ideally before code ever reaches production.
Based on a study of 250+ security and engineering professionals, the report exposes the growing disconnect between security goals and developer realities. "Everyone talks about Shifting Left, but few are seeing the security gains they expected," said Tzvika Shneider, CEO of Pynt. "Most organizations have tools in place, but they still struggle with noise, process friction, and developer resistance. AI accelerates how software is developed and shipped, forcing security to keep pace."
-- 97% of companies that implemented shift left strategies, have
implemented Shift Left tools
-- False positives remain the #1 blocker, cited by 35% of respondents.
-- Tool integration is a major barrier. 31% report difficulty in
effectively integrating Shift Left security tools into their development
workflows.
-- 25% of developers report being overwhelmed by the volume of
vulnerabilities.
"Shift Left was meant to improve security, but many organizations are finding that execution challenges are holding them back," said Shneider. "Security leaders must rethink their approach to reduce friction between security and development teams while maintaining effective risk management."
The report suggests that automated security testing, improved collaboration between security and development teams, and integrating security within the testing phase can help companies overcome Shift Left implementation hurdles.
