GOALS

• Establish a proactive and DevSecOps-driven approach to application security, integrating security seamlessly into the development lifecycle
• Reduce the organization's attack surface by identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities across the SDLC, including open-source components and infrastructure as code
• Foster a culture of security awareness among developers and provide them with the tools and knowledge to build secure applications from the ground up.

Frustrations

• Experiencing resistance from developers who perceive security measures as impediments to their workflow and productivity
• Dealing with a lack of automation in security testing and remediation processes, resulting in manual effort and slower development cycles
• Finding it difficult to measure and demonstrate the ROI of application security investments to the executive team, hindering budget allocation and support.

GOALS

• Implement a comprehensive and scalable application security program that aligns with industry best practices and regulatory requirements
• Evaluate and adopt cutting-edge security technologies and solutions to stay ahead of evolving threats and vulnerabilities
• Develop and maintain secure coding guidelines and best practices, providing developers with clear and actionable guidance for secure development.

Frustrations

• Encountering difficulties in achieving consistent security practices across different development teams and projects due to varying levels of security awareness and expertise
• Facing challenges in keeping up with the rapid pace of technology advancements and the emergence of new security vulnerabilities
• Struggling to effectively communicate complex security concepts and findings to non-technical stakeholders, hindering collaboration and decision-making.
