Secure by Design
Secure by Design is about embedding security as a non-negotiable quality attribute throughout the entire lifecycle of critical infrastructure, making it inherently more robust, resistant to attack, and capable of recovering quickly from inevitable disruptions. From Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment to Secure Supply Chain, it’s making security a foundational characteristic from the initial concept and design phase, through development, deployment, operation, and eventual decommissioning.
