 A message from SECURITY COMPASS Have you given up on making your development team more productive? Figuring out the best approach to mature application security programs can be difficult, especially with increasing internal demands for a faster time to market. Many solutions claim to help organizations build more secure software. However, measuring the value provided by the solution compared to its economic and organizational cost can be difficult. That’s why Security Compass commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ study to examine the quantifiable ROI enterprises can realize by deploying SD Elements. According to this study, SD Elements enabled its users to decrease the time needed to develop security requirements for products by up to 90%. The study also found that organizations’ ROI could be as high as 332%, with a payback period of less than 6 months. If that sounds interesting to you, join experts from Forrester and Security Compass on June 1st at 2:00 p.m. (EST) and learn how organizations use SD Elements to: - Reduce vulnerability remediation costs
- Improve productivity
- Reduce costs through automation
And for a quick preview of the study’s results, see this infographic. Experience the study
