Developer Risk Management Overview

Developer Risk Management is a holistic and proactive approach to application security, focused on code contributors rather than within the bits and bytes of the application layer itself.
Proactively measure, manage and mitigate developer security risk across the SDLC to improve security posture, release software faster and cut vulnerabilities by 53% or more.
The philosophy behind Developer Risk Management is that, through upskilling code contributors and applying governance to secure coding skills programmatically, the benefits and impact of developer-driven secure code initiatives increase exponentially.
