The outgoing CISA chief, Jen Easterly, likened secure software development to the automotive safety movement of the 1960s. Just as Ralph Nader's book 'Unsafe At Any Speed' created public outcry for safer cars, there's hope that a similar outrage can drive change in software security. However, software developers are currently incentivized to prioritize speed over security. To instigate meaningful progression by 2025, it's crucial for IT leaders and software buyers to demand that vendors adhere to secure by design principles, fostering a culture where security is prioritized from the outset instead of as an afterthought.
Software developers don't write secure code because they have no incentive to do so. Companies share this lack of incentive, affecting product security.
The pressure on software developers to rush product releases often prioritizes speed over security, resulting in vulnerable software just as unsafe as 1960s cars.
