Security by Design prevents higher bills

"Those who build in security only after the fact pay up to fifteen times the original cost. A strict 'Security by Design' approach and close interaction between blue and red teaming are crucial."

"Companies that incorporate security directly into the design of a new system pay roughly ten percent extra on initial product development, while those who retrofit systems later pay ten to fifteen times as much."

"In addition to enormous direct remediation costs, heavy fines loom for non-compliance with regulations such as the GDPR and the new NIS2 directive, leading to reputational damage."

"Internal development teams are becoming exhausted because they are constantly busy patching unexpected vulnerabilities instead of building innovative new functionalities."

A strict 'Security by Design' approach is essential to avoid high costs associated with retrofitting security measures. Companies that delay security integration face costs up to fifteen times higher than those who incorporate it from the start. Klarrio emphasizes the importance of this approach, especially with open-source technology. Non-compliance with regulations can lead to heavy fines and reputational damage. Internal teams suffer from exhaustion due to constant patching of vulnerabilities instead of focusing on innovation, highlighting the need for proactive security measures.
