THE SECURE BY DESIGN IMPERATIVE: A ONE-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE - On behalf of the Atlantic Council’s Cyber Statecraft Initiative, please join us for a virtual panel discussion about the Secure by Design (SBD) initiative from the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

Persistent insecurity poses a threat to US national security and personal privacy alike, with businesses and end users continuing to face risks from insecure software. CISA’s Secure by Design initiative seeks to move security earlier in the product lifecycle for organizations that produce and sell software , reducing vulnerability and increasing the resilience of software to make it safer for its many users.

In light of the initiative’s one-year anniversary, this event will discuss SBD’s progress so far and the work yet to come. Which organizations have adopted SBD principles, and what is in the way of organizations that have not? What is industry’s perspective on the most impactful and efficient principles and practices within the SBD framework with respect to security outcomes? How can CISA advance the adoption of these principles in cooperation with software developers large and small, as well as other influential ecosystem actors like cyber insurers?

This discussion will pose the above questions to speakers including Lauren Zabierek, Senior Advisor, CISA; Jack Cable, Senior Technical Advisor, CISA; and Dan Lorenc, CEO and Co-Founder, Chainguard. The event will also feature pre-recorded remarks from Jen Easterly, Director, CISA.
