  • Improve CI/CD security coverage while reducing noise and improving signal quality

  • Establish repeatable processes for:

    • Threat modeling

    • Secure design reviews

    • Vulnerability triage and remediation workflows

  • Build strong, trusted relationships with product and engineering teams and Security Champions

  • Define and begin tracking key application security KPIs and program metrics
