The Hidden Costs of DevSecOps: A Developer’s Time Assessment

Modern DevSecOps practices are designed to integrate security throughout the software development lifecycle — but at what cost?

This exclusive IDC InfoBrief, sponsored by JFrog, exposes the hidden toll security responsibilities are taking on your most valuable technical talent: your developers.

Download the report to uncover:

  • Why organizations now spend an average of $28,100 per developer per year on security tasks — and what that means for your bottom line.
  • How after-hours security work is driving burnout, reducing productivity, and threatening developer retention.
  • Where inefficiencies like context switching, tool overload, and manual reviews are silently draining time and resources.
  • The growing mismatch between developers’ security responsibilities and the training they actually receive.

Backed by fresh IDC survey data from 210+ DevSecOps professionals across the U.S. and Europe, this report provides the insights leaders need to make smarter decisions about security investment, developer productivity, and long-term innovation.
