Today, CISA published guidance on How Software Manufacturers Can Shield Web Management Interfaces From Malicious Cyber Activity as a part of a new Secure by Design (SbD) Alert series.   

This SbD Alert urges software manufacturers to proactively prevent the exploitation of vulnerabilities in web management interfaces by designing and developing their products using SbD principles:  

• Take Ownership of Customer Security Outcomes. 
• Embrace Radical Transparency and Accountability.
