The dreaded data ditch. You might not even know your organization is stuck in it – the company might still be acting on gut feel as opposed to relying on data, the data you have might be ungoverned and inaccurate, or you’re waiting weeks, even months, for your teams to glean useful insights.

Developers take a lot of pride in their work. We strive to consistently deliver the best code and avoid dangerous edge-cases. Which is why we aim to detect and remediate bugs before they ship through testing and code reviews. However, when it comes to security, sometimes we fall flat.
