US and UK call time on Silicon Valley
A clarion call has gone out on both sides of the Atlantic for digital technologies to be made secure by design rather than by default. At San Francisco’s RSA cyber conference earlier this month, Jen Easterly, the director of CISA, the US Cyber Defense Agency, called for software to be made far more secure. This week, Ollie Whitehouse, the CTO of the NCSC, the UK’s National Cyber Security Centre, also echoed her thoughts, demanding that the technology industry make its products more cyber-secure from the start.
