Answer the board with a burndown, not a backlog.
AppSecAI lets your security organization remediate at portfolio scale, so you take risk off the table instead of waiting on engineering.
The backlog is a liability with a dollar sign.
A thousand-finding backlog, at $5,000 to $20,000 per manual fix, is a $5–20M liability. No budget approves that, so it sits — and gets called accepted risk.
Exploitation windows now run in hours. Lateral movement averages 48 minutes. Full remediation rates on known exploited vulnerabilities are falling, down to 26%.
The exposure is not the findings. It is the gap between your find rate and your fix rate, and it compounds every month.
A remediation function you control, not a favor you request.
“The bottleneck is organizational, not computational.”
The security cycle runs on its own clock
Remediation runs continuously against the same codebase as development, without waiting for a sprint boundary, a planning meeting, or a developer’s attention.
Separation of duties, enforced by permissions
Read-only access means the merge always happens in your pipeline, by an engineer or by your policy on green. That’s a permission, not a procedure.
Policy central, automation graduated
You set autonomy per vulnerability class and per application from one place, and every change carries an audit trail. You do. Approval never goes away — it moves up, from the pull request to the policy. A class reaches merge on green only after you promote it, every merge is logged with the policy that authorized it, and you can turn the dial back down at any time. AppSecAI has read-only access; the merge happens in your pipeline, under your branch protection rules.
Developer hours go back to revenue
Security stops renting engineering capacity. The hours that were being spent re-learning CWEs and babysitting patches return to the roadmap.
70% of AppSec leaders say they would deploy fix automation if they had it. The org chart has been ready in places the tooling was not.
Are we more secure than last quarter? Now you can answer.
Percent of the portfolio under remediation
Including the vibe-coded, agent-generated, and abandoned applications that no assessment program reaches today.
Risk retired over time
A line that moves down every month, per application and across the portfolio, against a find rate you can show beside it.
A unit economic you can trend
Remediation stops being a fixed program cost and becomes a rate — one you can forecast, compare, and defend.
Per-fix evidence chain
The finding it closed, how it was validated, who approved it. Built for the auditor and the regulator, not assembled the week before.
Pay for outcomes. Literally.
You pay per accepted fix and $0 for fixes you reject. Spend maps one to one onto risk retired.
There is no shelfware risk and no per-seat sprawl, because there is nothing to deploy to a seat. If the fixes do not land, we do not get paid — which is a harder commitment than any accuracy claim on a slide.
From one application to the enterprise standard.
Prove it on one application
The backlog everyone gave up on, fixed against your scanners and your CI.
Run it as an internal service
Remediation offered to every engineering group across the portfolio, on central policy.
Certify everything that ships
The function that clears code for production, with the evidence to back every clearance.
Built seven security services on fix automation, running at margins above 70%.
Runs a security center of excellence as a service, on the same operation.
The leaders who own remediation stop defending a cost center and start running a capability.
Frequently asked questions
How does this sit with our existing SAST investment?
It protects it. AppSecAI consumes findings from the scanners you already license, so detection spend keeps its value and nothing gets ripped out. Remediation is the layer you add, and it is the layer you should expect to keep when scanners change.
What does the auditor see?
A per-fix evidence chain: the finding that was closed, the validation that proved it closed, the policy that authorized the change, and the approver. Separation of duties is structural — security validates, engineering reviews, access is read-only.
What is the data and repository access posture?
Read-only. AppSecAI proposes a branch and a pull request; your pipeline, your CI checks, and your branch protection rules decide what merges, at every autonomy level.
How is this budgeted?
Per accepted fix, with $0 owed on fixes you reject. The line item is a rate rather than a platform fee, so the budget scales with risk retired instead of with seats or applications onboarded.

Bring one application and its backlog. You pay for the fixes you keep and nothing for the ones you reject.
