Here's Why It's Important To Take CISA's 'Secure By Design Pledge' Seriously
SC Media, Tuesday, August 13th, 2024
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency's (CISA) Secure by Design Pledge shows a lot of promise. CISA's recommendations for the future are a reflection of the current state of affairs - one in which vulnerabilities run rampant, and organizations struggle to gain visibility into their risk and exposures.
Legacy devices and systems are particularly vulnerable. These older technologies often lack modern security features, making them a prime target for cyberattacks. For example, research reveals that older Windows server OS versions (2012 and earlier) are 77% more likely to experience attack attempts compared to newer Windows Server versions.
