Fortinet's Progress On Its Secure By Design Pledge Commitments
Fortinet News, Thursday, August 1st, 2024
At a time when businesses are embracing digital transformation and our lives are increasingly conducted online, it's more critical than ever to ensure that the software we rely on every day is secure. From personal data and intellectual property to national security, threat actors continue enhancing their tactics, posing a greater risk to every individual and organization.
As a driving force in the evolution of cybersecurity, Fortinet has long been at the forefront of the industry in embracing and advocating for cybersecurity best practices. We are committed to being a role model regarding ethical product development and vulnerability disclosure, which includes embracing responsible radical transparency, holding ourselves to robust disclosure practices, and adhering to international and industry-recognized standards.
While these efforts have been part of Fortinet's DNA for at least two decades, these best practices are mere suggestions-not requirements-across the broader software industry. Until recently, there's been a notable gap in coordination among the cybersecurity and broader software vendor industry and government agencies in setting and driving policies that hold software manufacturers to more rigorous standards.
