Secure by Design: The First Step to Outsmarting Cyber Thieves!
Secure by Design is like locking the front door of your digital house. It won’t stop all the burglars, but it’ll make them work harder. CISA’s Kirk Lawrence stresses it’s just the start of resilience, not the end of risk. Executive buy-in is crucial for effective implementation.
Hot Take:
Secure by Design is the equivalent of putting a “Beware of Dog” sign on your fence. It might not stop the burglars, but at least they’ll think twice before hopping over. While CISA’s initiative is like bolting the front door, remember that hackers can still sneak in through the windows—if you haven’t installed bars there, of course. So, it’s a start but not the ultimate fortress you might hope for!
Key Points:
- Secure by Design is like locking the front door—a necessary first move, but not the ultimate solution.
- Weak spots in the framework include threat detection and national coordination.
- A business case to promote Secure by Design to executives is in development.
- Former Secure by Design leaders have departed, and new executive orders are in place.
- NIST has a 2025 deadline to integrate Secure by Design principles into national cybersecurity guidance.
