What is security by design?<\/h2><\/div>

Security by Design integrates security aspects into software engineering right from the start of the project. Central principles are proactive risk management, multi-layered security mechanisms (defense-in-depth), minimal authorizations (least privilege) and secure standard configurations (security by default). <\/p>\n<\/div>

Why security by design is important<\/h2><\/div>

Software is the backbone of modern companies. But while functionality and performance are often at the forefront, security is often only considered after the fact. This can be expensive: Fixing security vulnerabilities during development costs up to 30 times less than corrections during productive operation. <\/p>\n

The latest IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report shows: The average cost of a data breach is 4.88 million US dollars – the highest value since the survey began. Security by design saves costs through early error detection, strengthens customer confidence, simplifies compliance requirements such as GDPR or ISO 27001 and becomes a decisive competitive advantage. <\/p>\n<\/div>
