Qualys Is Proud to Sign CISA’s Secure by Design Pledge | Qualys
Summary: Qualys announced it is signing CISA's Secure by Design Pledge, which lists seven goals for building security into products at the design stage and following through with timely patches over the lifecycle. The post cites the Colonial Pipeline breach, which it attributes to a default password, as an example of preventable incidents caused by treating security as an afterthought.
What you should know: The post ties the pledge to Colonial Pipeline, where a single default password shut down a pipeline carrying almost half the East Coast's fuel supply - a reminder that the design-stage defaults in your own software estate carry consequences well beyond the product.
