¹ Security team burden: FTEs × $95/hr × 2,080 hrs × 20% manual burden = annual cost · 75% of organizations report security teams spend >20% of time on manual remediation tasks · CSA / Dazz State of Security Remediation 2024 (n=2,037) · recovery at 95% = FTEs × $95 × 2,080 × 20% × 95% · team size benchmark: ~0.9 FTEs per 100 employees · IANS / Artico Search 2024 (n=860+)
² Developer drag: developers × annual loaded cost × 14% security time = annual drag · GitLab / Harris Poll Global DevSecOps Report 2024 (n=3,266) · recovery at 66.5% = 70% OSS attribution × 95% CVE reduction · 70% reflects Veracode State of Software Security 2025: 70% of critical security debt originates from third-party code
⁴ Remediation speed: 54.8 days avg MTTR for high/critical application vulnerabilities · Edgescan 2026 Vulnerability Statistics Report (11th edition, 2025 data) · note: Edgescan MTTR measured from detection to validated remediation; ActiveState SLA measured from CVE disclosure to patch delivery — starting points differ · ActiveState SLA: Critical 5 / High 10 / Low 30 business days · Backlog: 37% of enterprise vulnerabilities remain unresolved after 12 months · Edgescan 2026
Annual operational cost figures use population-level benchmarks and prospect-entered inputs. Breach context figures are per-incident references, not annualized costs. Not a substitute for a full risk assessment.
