Quantifies the financial and productivity costs of manual security tasks, supporting the ROI of automated supply chain risk evaluation.
Organizations are facing rising DevSecOps costs, spending over $28,100 per developer annually on security tasks like manual reviews and context switching. Developers estimate that 19% of their weekly working hours are now spent on security-related tasks, an increase of nearly two hours per week from the previous year. Additionally, developers spend an average of 3.6 hours a week addressing unexpected security issues outside normal working hours, highlighting the need for automated, high-accuracy security tools that minimize false positives.

Risk Guard does not factor in bug bounty programs as a mitigating signal for vulnerability risk.
Risk Guard would be better if it identified and highlighted projects with active bug bounty or vulnerability discovery programs.
