More than 26,000 software vulnerabilities were discovered in 2022 – a new record – and critical vulnerabilities were up 59% over 2021, the previous record-high year. In other words, despite years of DevSecOps, software doesn’t seem to be getting more secure. Release management can help. A crucial goal of release management is vulnerability-free software.

While organizations are quickly adopting AI to automate tasks and improve operations, it’s important to consider the security risks associated with integrating AI into your company’s processes and software. AI not only brings an opportunity to increase efficiency but also introduces additional risks to your organization if not used responsibly — just like a recent example from Samsung has shown.

As developers we understand the critical role teamwork and collaboration play in solving complex problems. Often, it’s that second set of eyes that uncovers an additional issue or sheds light on the root cause of a stubborn bug. Effective collaboration becomes a critical factor in determining a team’s success or failure, especially when debugging or troubleshooting problematic issues within complex applications.

The idea of ‘collaboration’ in software development isn’t new. More often than not, delivery of a software product is only possible because of teamwork and combined effort. Over time, collaboration has risen to priority one in the tech world, and some tools now make it seamless to share resources and work across even the largest of teams. In this article, we are going to be exploring GitHub, a collaboration platform that helps teams work and ship products together.
