In April 2023, CISA launched the Secure by Design initiative, urging tech companies to make security a core business requirement. Over 300 software manufacturers have since pledged to enhance customer protection through several key goals, including better multifactor authentication and allowing customers to patch vulnerabilities themselves. The initiative addresses the common struggles developers face with security, particularly under pressure and increasing reliance on AI tools that can introduce vulnerabilities. The response highlights a collective commitment to integrating robust security measures throughout the software development process.
CISA's Secure by Design initiative urges tech companies to integrate security as a core business requirement throughout the software development life cycle to enhance customer protection.
With support from over 300 software manufacturers, the initiative aims to prioritize built-in protection, ensuring vulnerabilities are minimized and transparency is expanded.
Developers are under immense pressure, often resorting to insecure coding practices to meet tight deadlines, highlighting the need for systemic change in software development.
The rise of AI tools as coding assistants has increased potential security vulnerabilities, with a significant number of developers acknowledging the prevalence of insecure AI-generated suggestions.
