Security by Design and Security by Default are crucial in the face of a tumultuous geo-political landscape and increasing reliance on digital services. IT suppliers need to be challenged to improve their security practices. Organizations should prioritize security and align it with their business strategy. Procurement processes and legal contracts should be re-engineered to prioritize secure by design and security by default approaches. Liability and penalty clauses should be introduced to hold IT vendors accountable for security costs. Collective action across industries and governments can drive change in IT suppliers. #ITsecurity #securitybydesign #securitybydefault #cybersecurity #ITvendors
