This week Stan and Julie riff on a key component of the National Cybersecurity Strategy: Secure by design. Secure by default. How it’s a long-term strategy. How we don’t have time to wait.
Someday security will be built into our computers and applications the way safety is built into cars. But not now. Not yet. Now we’re back in the 1930s without seatbelts, without collapsible steering wheels, without padded dashboards. Even without safety glass.
The lack of built-in security in our digital lives pushes security responsibility on to us, the end users. CISA head Jen Easterly describes it this way: “As a nation, we have allowed a system where the cybersecurity burden is placed disproportionately on the shoulders of consumers and small organizations and away from the producers of the technology and those developing the products that increasingly run our digital lives.”
As always, Stan and Julie provide actionable tips and thoughtful wisdom about the steps we can take to protect our cybersecurity and privacy while we wait for our cybersecurity Nirvana.
