Snyk Joins CISA's Secure by Design Pledge

The Chief Information Security Officer at Snyk highlights the company's commitment to enhancing digital security by joining the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) Secure by Design pledge, which aligns with Snyk's longstanding principles. This initiative emphasizes shifting the responsibility of application security from development teams to software manufacturers by advocating for products that are inherently secure by design and default. The pledge outlines several goals, such as implementing multi-factor authentication, eliminating default passwords, publishing vulnerability disclosure policies, reducing vulnerability classes, increasing transparency in vulnerability reporting, ensuring timely patching, and providing evidence of intrusion. Snyk's tools, such as Snyk Code and Snyk Open Source, support these objectives by integrating security into the development process, driving transparency through Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), and accelerating vulnerability management. The Secure by Design initiative reflects a broader industry commitment to improving security practices, with Snyk playing a proactive role in empowering developers and organizations to create more secure products.
