Last board meeting, someone probably asked: "We've invested millions in security tools. Why do we still have successful attacks?" If you had to explain false positive rates and tool sprawl instead of celebrating wins, this one's for you!
Your security budget breakdown probably looks familiar:
Here's the brutal economics: Your premium scanners generate an average of 11,500 findings per large application. Your team can realistically investigate maybe 20-30 per day. Do the math - you're either hiring an army or accepting that most findings will never be touched.
Meanwhile, attackers need exactly one real vulnerability to succeed.
Remember Pac-Man? Your AppSec team is the yellow dot, surrounded by ghosts (false positives), frantically trying to clear a maze that keeps generating more ghosts faster than they can be eliminated.
The economics are unsustainable:
Translation: You're paying premium salaries for people to play an unwinnable game.
What if instead of hiring more people to chase ghosts, you gave your existing team superpowers?
Our customers consistently see this transformation:
Real customer case study: Major financial services firm reduced their application security backlog from 18 months to 2 weeks. Same team size. Same applications. Just eliminated the noise.
Traditional approach:
With automation:
Your CFO will love this math. 20x improvement in cost per fix, 10x faster remediation cycles, and your team stops looking burned out in hallway conversations.
Beyond the obvious cost savings, automation fundamentally changes your security program's effectiveness:
Risk reduction at scale: When you can actually address findings quickly, your exposure window shrinks dramatically. No more six-month backlogs where attackers have ample time to exploit known issues.
Developer relations: When security findings are accurate and often come with automated fixes, developers stop treating security as the team that slows them down. They start seeing you as the team that helps them ship faster.
Board conversations: Instead of explaining tool complexity and resource constraints, you present metrics on actual risk reduction and business enablement.
Here's the uncomfortable truth: Your competitors are facing the same false positive problem. Most are solving it by throwing people at the problem or ignoring findings altogether.
Early adopters of Expert Fix Automation report:
The companies figuring this out first are building sustainable security programs that scale with business growth instead of fighting it.
The best CISOs aren't the ones with the biggest security budgets - they're the ones who can demonstrate clear ROI on security investments while reducing business friction.
Your security team should be known for:
Not for:
The maze stays the same - applications still need securing, threats keep evolving, compliance requirements aren't going anywhere. But your team doesn't have to keep playing an unwinnable game.
When your AppSec team has the right tools, they stop chasing ghost vulnerabilities and start systematically improving your security posture.
Your developers start seeing security as helpful instead of hindering.
Your board starts viewing security as a business enabler instead of a necessary evil.
