CISA Advocates Integrating Product Security with Application Security

Expanding Application Security to Product Security is Key for CISA’s Secure by Design. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) emphasizes the need for a broader approach to application security (AppSec) that integrates product security (ProdSec) to enhance software security throughout its lifecycle. Experts argue that traditional AppSec methods are too limited and advocate for embedding security considerations from the design phase through to deployment and beyond. This shift aims to create a culture of security within organizations, ensuring that security is a fundamental aspect of product development and management, ultimately supporting the goals of Secure by Design.
