SecurityScorecard Signs CISA’s Secure by Design Pledge

Posted on June 12, 2024June 12, 2024 By Martin Hinton

SecurityScorecard has signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Secure by Design pledge, reinforcing its commitment to trust and transparency in software development. This pledge aligns SecurityScorecard with other industry entities to meet CISA’s seven key cybersecurity goals.

Steve Cobb, Chief Information Security Officer at SecurityScorecard, stated, “SecurityScorecard supports secure development from the start, aiming to build a safer digital ecosystem. We understand that unprotected software poses risks to national security and economic stability. Signing CISA’s pledge is a critical step in our mission to enhance digital security.”

The Secure by Design Pledge

The Secure by Design pledge is an initiative by CISA to promote secure software development from the outset. It encourages organizations to integrate security measures during the initial design and development stages rather than addressing vulnerabilities post-deployment. The pledge focuses on building a safer digital environment by prioritizing security, reducing risks, and protecting critical infrastructure from cyber threats.

Founded over a decade ago, SecurityScorecard has focused on collaboration in cybersecurity. Its products and services prioritize trust and transparency, allowing users to maintain accurate security ratings. The company’s dedication to data privacy and compliance safeguards the security of its customers, partners, and vendors. This commitment is demonstrated by over 60,000 organizations actively rating more than 12 million entities globally.

A recent report from SecurityScorecard indicated that 75% of third-party breaches target the software and technology supply chain, enabling threat actors to scale their operations easily. The Secure by Design pledge addresses this issue by embedding security into the development process, thereby strengthening the cybersecurity resilience of products and services and making it harder for malicious actors to succeed.

SecurityScorecard’s participation in CISA’s catalog of Free Cybersecurity Services and Tools aims to enhance the cyber resilience of critical infrastructure sectors. Additionally, SecurityScorecard collaborates with CISA through the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative to share cyber threat information, protecting both public and private critical infrastructure.
