The SAP Product Security team wanted to ensure that mistakes were not being repeated in the Secure Software Development Lifecycle and that there was a systematic process that helped to ensure this. Providing a systematic way to dive deeper into resolved issues in a collaborative manner ensured that all stakeholder perspectives (such as development, validation, testing and response), methodologies and tools were taken into consideration.
