As our world becomes digital, the systems we build must be secure by design. The security community has developed a well-understood set of principles used to build systems that are secure (or at least securable) by design, but this topic often isn’t included in the training of software developers. And when the principles are explained, they are often shrouded in the jargon of the security engineering community, so mainstream developers struggle to understand and apply them.
This talk explains why secure design matters and introduces 10 of the most important proven principles for designing secure systems, distilled from the wisdom of the security engineering community.
