CISA urges software vendors to adopt secure by design practices to eliminate longstanding vulnerabilities such as injection flaws and improper input validation that remain widely exploited. The agency emphasizes vendor accountability for security outcomes and encourages software buyers to prioritise vendors with strong security practices and supply chain transparency via SBOMs.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must show clear security ownership in your software development to access US government and enterprise buyers. Legacy vulnerabilities stay exploitable until you systematically remove them and provide a software bill of materials.
