Secure code review is a critical process employed by the most successful development teams. It can:

• Reduce the number of delivery defects found at a later stage in the SDLC
• Decrease the amount of time developers spend fixing late-stage defects, thereby increasing productivity
• Reduce the number of bugs and security vulnerabilities going into production
• Improve consistency across codebases and increase maintainability
• Improve collaboration, knowledge sharing, and developer productivity, and lessons learned can help inform future code development
• Improve ROI by helping make processes faster and more secure, and use less resources and time
