Debating the CISA Secure by Design Pledge

In this episode of 'The Security Table,' hosts Chris Romeo, Matt Coles, and Izar Tarandach discuss the CISA Secure by Design Pledge, a recent initiative where various companies commit to improving software security practices. The hosts critique the pledge, arguing that many of the signatory companies have long been focused on software security, making the pledge redundant for them. They dissect specific goals of the pledge, such as increasing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and reducing default passwords, and express concerns about their actual impact. 

Despite their skepticism of the pledge’s effectiveness and measurability, they do acknowledge CISA's intention behind the pledge is to move the industry forward.
