New voluntary rules outline software security best practices for vendors and developers
The NCSC's new Software Security Code of Practice is a 'clear call to developers' to beef up secure by design practices, according to a senior cybersecurity expert.
James Neilson, SVP International at OPSWAT, said the new rules introduced by the security agency will play a key role in encouraging organizations to build more secure software solutions.
'This new code is a welcome move,' he said. 'It isn't just a checklist - it's a call to get serious about end-to-end security. A software supply chain is only as strong as its weakest link.'
