The Product Security Imperative: Lessons from CISA
summary
CISA’s secure by design pledge launches in 2023, reaches 300+ signatories with 68 initial commitments, but only ~30 public progress reports so far; major clouds make multi-factor authentication mandatory; Google data shows adopting memory safe languages (e.g., Rust) steadily reduces memory bugs; Fortinet reports automatic updates increase patch adoption though some users opt out; policy pushes call to exempt good‑faith research from DMCA/CFAA and to require manufacturers to publish CVEs and run vulnerability disclosure programs.
