“Shift left" was supposed to be the answer. The theory was simple: move security earlier to save time and money. But for most teams, it just shifted the friction. We’ve overwhelmed developers with alerts without actually stopping risks, creating a pipeline that generates vulnerabilities faster than we can fix them.
The economics of this are brutal. Unlike money, which gains value over time, security debt just gets more expensive.
Designed for executives, this ebook explains:
- The Economics of the Broken Pipeline: Why the current "shift left" approach is hurting developer velocity and why 85% of organizations say security is disrupting delivery.
- The 1000% Inflation on Security Debt: A look at the "Time Value of Money" in software, showing exactly how much production remediation is costing you.
- How prevention-first AppSec restores engineering capacity: Why stopping new vulnerabilities returns hours—not just dollars—back to product teams.
