Maturity_whitepaper_hero_image_2x

How can you ensure your AppSec program is not only effective but also aligned with business priorities?

This is a critical issue, with 75% of CISOs reporting that the majority of their company’s revenue runs on applications.  Of course, application risk isn’t a front of mind issue for many until it’s too late. But for CISOs, a mature AppSec program is critical to justify funding, gain developer buy-in, or measure effectiveness.  

In this guide, we provide a pragmatic, results-driven approach to AppSec maturity in three steps: 

  • Benchmarking against industry peers and security frameworks.  
  • Identifying critical gaps to justify security investments. 
  • Driving real change by closing those gaps in agile, measurable steps.
