Security teams didn’t get the same upgrade AI gave developers. Most still run a detection-first program built for human-speed development: scan, file a ticket, argue about severity, wait for a sprint. That model doesn’t bend under AI-scale code volume, it breaks.
The Backlog Zero Playbook is built for the people who have to fix that: AppSec leaders, AppSec engineers, and the engineering leads who share the backlog. It sets out one goal, Backlog Zero, not zero findings, but zero attackable vulnerabilities waiting in a queue, and the five capabilities every program needs to reach it, all within one platform. Inside: a worked example of a fused scan taking 177,500 raw findings down to zero, the one metric to ask every vendor for before trusting a benchmark, a build-versus-buy breakdown of what a homegrown frontier-model harness actually costs, and a 10-question self-assessment to score your own program today.
