Cybeats Enlisted in Secure by Design Pledge; Enhancing Standards with U.S. Cybersecurity Agency

TORONTO, May 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Cybeats Technologies Corp. ("Cybeats'' or the "Company")(CSE: CYBT) (OTCQB: CYBCF), a global leader in cybersecurity technology, is proud to announce its inclusion in the 'Secure by Design' initiative by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).¹ This move marks a significant step forward for Cybeats in supporting one the largest U.S. security agencies, and alongside some of the world's largest software companies.²

The new Secure by Design pledge brings together industry giants to raise security standards across diverse tech sectors. With this, Cybeats aligns itself with other inaugural members and industry leaders such as Amazon, Cisco, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Palo Alto Networks.

"We live in a world where digital security is paramount and requires a continuous commitment. Beyond just Cybeats' pledge, SBOM Studio helps its  customers adhere to the 'Secure by Design' pledge by enhancing the detection of vulnerabilities, in alignment with CISA's principles," said Dmitry Raidman, CTO, Cybeats.

Cybeats' Commitment to Secure by Design Pledge

Cybeats is one of the 68 initial companies to commit to the Secure by Design pledge, which focuses on advancing security measures within enterprise software realms. This pledge highlights a voluntary commitment to improve security, aligning with CISA's principles. At the core of Cybeats' innovative approach is the commitment to Secure by Design principles. Products should be secure to use out of the box, with secure configurations enabled by default and security features such as MFA, logging, and SSO available at no additional cost. This pledge fosters a culture of accountability and knowledge sharing, encouraging radical transparency and public documentation of progress and challenges. The seven goals of the initiative and commitment are:

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• Reduce default passwords
• Reducing entire classes of vulnerabilities
• Increase security patches
• Vulnerability disclosure policy
• CVEs
• Evidence of intrusions

By catalyzing action by some of the largest technology manufacturers, the Secure by Design pledge sees work being done over the next year to demonstrate measurable progress towards these seven concrete goals. Collectively, these commitments will help protect and secure the technology that critical infrastructure relies on.³
