What is Shift Left?

In the world of software application development, “shift-left” is a concept that promotes the value of integrating security into the software development lifecycle as early as possible. In other words, security testing should be moved “left” in the development timeline, thereby identifying and fixing defects early on when they are easier and more cost effective to address.
