When security leaves you in the dark, you need a brighter light.

Substance 36 guides security teams through the hard decisions and organizational changes that shape effective application and product security programs. We bring hard-won experience as defenders and leaders, and a passion for security that reaches beyond the technical to the people, priorities, and systems that shape applications.

Good teams with good intentions crash against organizational realities: processes that don't scale, vulnerabilities that languish in tickets, and shrinking resources in the face of growing risk. We help give you a clear view of the terrain and find the way through: shifting culture, reshaping tools and processes, growing security champions, and making the tough choices about where effort matters most.
