***Differentiate** on value in Ultimate and Gold - Running a security test is just the beginning. We want to provide a first-class experience and enable users to make data-driven decisions to secure their applications and services as well as their enterprise.
The following will NOT be a focus over the next 12 months:
***Machine learning (ML)** - ML techniques and modeling is planned as part of Secure’s 3 Year Strategy however other areas must be invested in first. This includes updating how we store security findings such that historical trends can be identified and reported.
***Protocol fuzzing** - Fuzzing the entire application technology stack is part of Secure’s 3 Year Strategy however we will focus on applications and APIs first. The shift to protocol fuzzing will occur as viable and complete maturities are achieved on DAST and API security testing

***Responsible disclosure** - GitLab will become both a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) for GitLab applications as well as for researchers and technologists to use when reporting new vulnerabilities (within any application, service, or operating system). As part of Secure’s 3 Year Strategy, we want to support the entire vulnerability lifecycle to enable ease-of-use when it comes to [responsible disclosure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsible_disclosure).
