Holds the Key to Proactive Application Security
![Page 11: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reason #1
Hiring and retaining experts is difficult and costly.
Each FTE can cost $100k-150k/year with a finite skill set and only ~50 weeks of productive time.
![Page 12: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Why Managed Services Is the Key
You get a pool of experts in all types of applications and testing strategies.
They come with their own office and security tools and can work on multiple things at once.
![Page 13: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Testing gaps in your portfolio invites security risk.
Hackers look for the easiest way in, which may not be the applications you prioritize for limited, internal testing.
Reason #2
![Page 14: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Close the gaps: test existing applications and those under development, Web, mobile, and client-server applications developed by your team or licensed from third parties.
Why Managed Services Is the Key

Lumpy demand requires elastic capacity.
Your testing schedule can’t control your application release schedule.
Reason #3
![Page 16: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
You can instantly add skilled capacity when you need it without having expensive experts sitting around when you don’t.
Why Managed Services Is the Key
![Page 17: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
When demand spikes you must respond with agility.
Otherwise, you delay release schedules and stress an already overburdened team.
Reason #4
![Page 18: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Tools alone are not enough to keep you safe.
You may miss critical issues or spend countless hours chasing false positives.
Reason #5
![Page 20: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The same tool your team uses may yield more accurate results when applied by an expert.
Because they follow a consistent process, results are more reproducible.
With multiple testing strategies external partners can combine and compare results.

Application security changes constantly.
New threats and attack vectors emerge and new regulations ramp up compliance requirements.
Reason #6
![Page 22: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
They can execute manual tests for multi-step penetration scenarios and targeted explorations.
They work with your team to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities.
Experts know the latest threats, compliance requirements, and remediation tactics.

What would you do if you weren’t reacting to the latest crisis?
![Page 24: The Path to Proactive Application Security](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589d299d1a28abeb478b646f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Once a managed services partner removes the obstacles, you can reclaim your staff and reinvest your time.
Let your partner handle all testing, while you focus on building awareness and managing your
program.
Leave run-of-the-mill testing to a
partner and focus your team on more
specialized, in-depth security tests.
