The Growth of Computer Software Assurance (CSA) is driven by Increasing Cybersecurity Threats

Computer software assurance (CSA) refers to practices that are performed across the application and software development lifecycle to ensure quality, security, and reliability of software systems. CSA services help organizations address threats such as data breaches, malware, viruses, and bugs in software applications. Rising cyber-attacks and data privacy regulations have increased pressure on businesses to incorporate measures to enhance software security. CSA solutions assist companies in implementing best practices for application development, testing programs for security vulnerabilities, and monitoring systems for threats and compliance with standards.

The global Computer Software Assurance (CSA) Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.48 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 13% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market key trends:
One of the major trends in the CSA market is the increasing adoption of DevSecOps practices. DevSecOps is a software development approach that integrates security practices and procedures into the DevOps development lifecycle. It brings security professionals into the development process at the very beginning to ensure security controls and assessments are implemented throughout development. As software attacks continue to grow in frequency and scale, many enterprises are embracing DevSecOps as a strategic priority to build security into coding from the start. The integration of security into development through DevSecOps tools and processes is expected to drive significant growth of the computer software assurance market over the forecast period.
