Achieving application security requires many different parts of an organization to work together efficiently, including security and audit, software development, business, and executive management. Security should be visible and measurable, so that all the different players can see and understand the organization’s application security posture. Focus on the activities and outcomes that actually help improve enterprise security by eliminating or reducing risk. <u>[[OWASP_SAMM_Project|OWASP SAMM]]</u> and the <u>[[Application_Security_Guide_For_CISOs|OWASP Application Security Guide for CISOs]]</u> is the source of most of the key activities in this list. | ||

Start Your Application Security Program Now
Application security is no longer optional. Between increasing attacks and regulatory pressures, organizations must establish effective processes and capabilities for securing their applications and APIs. Given the staggering amount of code in the numerous applications and APIs already in production, many organizations are struggling to get a handle on the enormous volume of vulnerabilities. Get Started
Risk Based Portfolio Approach
Enable with a Strong Foundation
Integrate Security into Existing Processes
Provide Management Visibility
