The Problem: Accumulated Security Tech Debt

The pressure to innovate and release applications faster is creating a critical issue for businesses: security tech debt. This refers to the accumulation of security issues, vulnerabilities, and weaknesses that organizations either overlook or defer in order to meet deadlines and deliver features promptly.

As applications become more complex, the increasing number and frequency of application security tests generate a flood of alerts that overwhelm your security teams and developers. This leads to:

• Increased number of new security risks: Competitive pressure and the constant drive to develop and deploy applications faster are fostering innovations, consequently introducing new risks that jeopardize productivity, revenue, and innovation.
• Hampered developer productivity: The accumulation of high-risk security technical debt at a rapid pace and its prolonged existence are impeding developers' productivity, causing delays in development cycles.
• Heightened business risk: Unprioritized vulnerabilities lost in the barrage of alerts expose your organization to attacks and data breaches, increasing overall business risk.

The Solution: a Proven Approach to Burn Down Critical Security Tech Debt

This whitepaper explores a proven approach used by organizations to slash their critical security tech debt by over 80%. It goes beyond simply identifying vulnerabilities and dives into how to mature your application security program by:

• Adopting a risk-based approach: Prioritize vulnerabilities based on their actual risk, rather than just severity.
• Empowering developers: Provide developers with automation and knowledge to remediate efficiently and effectively, thus helping them build secure apps faster.
• Leveraging data and metrics for decision-making: Use unified application security data to measure performance, inform data-driven decisions, and provide real-time visibility.
