Listen "Secure by Design"
Episode Synopsis
"Secure by Design" has garnered attention with the release of a document by CISA. What does it mean? How does it fit with Threat Modeling? And do you know if Secure by Design will answer our need for secure software?"Secure by Design" means a system is designed with secure principles. The system should come pre-hardened and pre-secured, ensuring users don't have to configure it for security after installation. On the other hand, "Secure by Default" means that the system is configured correctly for security right out of the box.The hosts explore what it means to be secure by design. Systems can be implemented with security principles rather than relying on users to configure settings post-installation. Matt raises the concept of "de-hardening" guides for compatibility and other situations. But Chris Romeo strongly opposes the idea, fearing it might provide a roadmap for undoing the security measures put in place.They also discuss how Threat Modeling fits with Secure by Design as a guide at the beginning and in the verification process. The episode concludes with the hosts emphasizing the importance of continuous threat modeling and the need to stay updated with the evolving security landscape.FOLLOW OUR SOCIAL MEDIA: ➜Twitter: @SecTablePodcast➜LinkedIn: The Security Table Podcast➜YouTube: The Security Table YouTube Channel Thanks for Listening!
