One of the best measures of AppSec maturity is how integrated these processes are with security and IR operations. Despite their concerns about silo mentalities, 67% of respondents have partially integrated AppSec into these operations, and 65% are partially satisfied with this stage of their integration. Another 17% have integrated fully, and 13% are satisfied with this full level of integration. See Figure below

A fully integrated AppSec program can reap benefits in overall security posture and IR capabilities. An AppSec program spans internally developed applications and applications procured from outside vendors. Integrating such a program provides valuable input for the overall enterprise security program, including IR. For example, for a purchased application, a predeployment AppSec review will identify configuration requirements to ensure that the application is used securely. The review will also identify log management/review requirements and establish a baseline for expected application behavior. In case of an incident, this information can be valuable in helping responders identify the incident and analyze a possible compromise of the application.
