CEO @ SafeStack || Application Security Optimist || On a mission to build the team of 30 million security minded software developers

❓ Controversial Opinion❓ The future of secure software does not lie in finding skilled application security specialists. I need your 🆘 help 🆘 Can you help generate an open-source, anonymous picture of how much security support we have compared to the size of our software teams? https://lnkd.in/gcnb2dAE The results of my research into application security resourcing are interesting, so I'd like to share an interim snapshot. Even our largest organizations have startlingly low ratios of security expertise to developer population size. I am still looking for many more submissions from all sizes and types of organizations, and I am committed to open-sourcing the anonymous results. If you can spare 3 minutes, you can help me clearly understand how appsec works in our organizations worldwide. Please share this, comment, repost, and share in your groups. The link to the survey is in the first comment.

Not sure if you saw this and if it can help. I think focusing on SSG members instead of the overall security team members will give more insights and information about software security.

What is magical moving from 1000 to 1001 development team size that causes such a significant increase in a security focus?
