Secure by Design
Secure by Design (SbD) is the new UK Government approach to Cyber Security, which fundamentally changes the traditional accreditation model to one based on continual risk management and security design principals.
Why Secure by Design?
Products designed with Secure by Design principles at the foundation prioritise the security of customers as a core organisational requirement, rather than simply treating it as a requirement for sign off. During the design phase of a product’s development lifecycle, companies should implement Secure by Design principles to significantly decrease the number of potential flaws before introducing them to the market for widespread use.
Security first approach
This ‘security first approach’ has fundamentally changed the way technologies are built, fostering a culture of security where developers are trained to prioritise security functionalities and practices throughout the entire lifecycle of software and hardware. It encourages the use of secure coding practices, threat modeling, and rigorous testing for vulnerabilities early in the development phase. As a result, systems are more resilient to cyber threats, reducing the potential for breaches and improving overall trust in the technology.
