AttackIQ commits to CISA's Secure by Design initiative
AttackIQ has announced that it has signed the Secure by Design pledge, developed by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). By joining this initiative, AttackIQ aims to integrate security into the foundation of all its products and services.
The Secure by Design pledge sets out seven key goals, with specific criteria that enterprise software products need to meet. This adaptable framework allows organisations to customise their approach while showcasing a commitment to enhancing software security. Manufacturers who adopt secure-by-design principles and measure their progress against established benchmarks contribute to a safer digital environment.
Kathy Hsu, Head of Federal at AttackIQ, remarked on the importance of this pledge. "The value of secure-by-design goes beyond a badge of honour but is a critical asset in securing our nation's digital infrastructure," she said.
"The dedication from leadership, product, engineering, and across all departments at AttackIQ underscores our commitment to this pledge. We are focused on ensuring that security is embedded into every phase of development and production, aligning with security best practices to support and protect the cyber mission," Hsu said.
By committing to the Secure by Design pledge, AttackIQ reinforces its commitment to embedding security into its products and services from the ground up. This proactive stance is in line with industry best practices, highlighting the company's dedication to safeguarding user data and systems.
AttackIQ's CEO, Brett Galloway, emphasised the importance of cybersecurity companies practising what they preach. "Cybersecurity companies must embody the security principles they advocate. As trusted protectors of digital assets, we as vendors must demonstrate impeccable security practices in our operations," Galloway commented.
"With the signing of this pledge, AttackIQ joins a growing community of organisations committed to building a more secure digital future. By prioritising secure-by-design principles and encouraging rigorous continuous security testing, we aim to create products and services that are resilient to emerging threats."
The company hopes that by signing this pledge, it will inspire other organisations to adopt similar secure-by-design principles, thereby contributing to a more secure global digital landscape.
