This paper offers a roadmap for improving application-security maturity across development, testing, and production. Page 1 emphasizes the shift-left philosophy and the need for consistent SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning. It outlines common barriers such as tool fragmentation, developer overload, and lack of metrics. The maturity model progresses from ad-hoc scanning to integrated DevSecOps with automated pipelines, risk scoring, governance, and training. Best practices include policy-as-code, centralized dashboards, remediation guidance in IDEs, and continuous improvement cycles to reduce vulnerabilities and accelerate secure releases.
