Every day, development teams face mounting pressure to ship code faster. Every day, security teams discover new vulnerabilities that put an organization at risk. Team leaders find themselves caught between the collision of these competing demands, watching these security issues cascade into costly delays, team burnout, and potential breaches. Strategic vulnerability management provides a path forward. It’s all about a systematic process of identifying, prioritizing, and remediating security weaknesses throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC), enabling organizations to address risks without compromising speed or quality.

When it’s done well, code is more secure and safer from the risk of being exploited. It also means developers’ jobs are easier because there are fewer roadblocks in their workflow, software is deployed at speed, and the organization has a reduced risk of security incidents and the fallout that come with them.
