The best key risk indicator (KRI) to show progress in IT employee behavior regarding application security issues is the results of application security awareness training quizzes. This KRI measures the level of knowledge and understanding that IT employees have acquired from the security training sessions, and how well they can apply it to their work. This KRI can also help to identify the gaps and weaknesses in the training content and delivery, and suggest areas for improvement. A high score on the quizzes indicates a high level of IT employee risk awareness and a low likelihood of creating serious security issues in application design and configuration
