Ivanti
JULY 18, 2024
The concept of Secure by Design, which means designing software with security built in before it leaves the drawing board, is fundamentally changing how software is developed. Software has often been designed with what’s known as “bolt-on security,” added after products are developed. But that means security is not inherent within the solution. Where there's a conjunction between the core product and a bolt-on, that’s an inflection point for an attack.
