Building Security in Maturity Model (BSIMM) is a data-driven model developed through the analysis of real-world software security initiatives (also known as application security, product security, or DevSecOps programs). The BSIMM15 report, published in January 2024, represents the latest evolution of this detailed measuring stick for software security.

Through the analysis of 121 organizations across a variety of industry verticals, the BSIMM15 report reveals

  • The top 10 software security activities being used today
  • Notable growth in Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) creation, governance and automation, research groups focused on new attack methods, and vulnerability disclosure efforts
  • Supply chain security, “shift everywhere,” open collaboration, and other major trends
  • Key actions organizations should adopt to evolve their application security programs, including standards to control and guide adoption of AI
