Integrate security into digital
innovation and operations.
Objectives
Our Security by Default Working Group is
committed to help integrate robust security measures into the core of every digital
innovation and business operation.
Spearheaded by our Partners, our mission is to champion the principle of security by
default, adopt the highest appropriate level of security and data protection and
ensure that it is preconfigured into the design of products, functionalities,
processes, technologies, operations, architectures, and business models.
We develop best practices, and provide actionable guidelines to foster a
security-first mindset across all sectors.
By leveraging our collective expertise and collaborating with policymakers,
businesses, and the wider community, we aim to build a resilient digital ecosystem
where cybersecurity is a fundamental priority, not an afterthought.
