[UPDATE July 11, 2024] You don't want to miss the BlackHat Keynote on August 7, 2024 by CISA Director Easterly - big announcement that will give great traction to "Secure By Design" initiatives supporting more secure software supply chains across the US by encouraging software consumers to demand secure software products that are built following Secure By Design principles and practices.
We have reached a breaking point with hackers disabling large segments of the economy by targeting commonly used software and services using the 3 most common attack paths: 1. People, 2. Software and 3. Supply Chain. We must secure these 3 attack paths to reduce the likelihood of successful cyber attacks. But, thanks to this US Government initiative to detect risky software products and software vendors, we are waking up to the risks and impacts hackers are imposing by seeking new cybersecurity solutions to prevent attacks that use the Software and Supply Chain attack paths.
The GSA's SCRIPTS RFQ is one giant leap for mankind to prevent cyber-attacks, as the cybersecurity paradigm shift into "Cyber Risk Management" gets a major boost to address cyber-risks as business risks and move toward a "Secure by Design" future (Read More below), that also aligns with NSM-22 goals and objectives and the PCAST Vision Well Done!
