Secure by Design, Not by Chance: Sicura Introduces a New Category of Cyber Defense at InfoSec World 2025

New cybersecurity category to debut during a featured panel with leaders from Johnson & Johnson, U.S. Cyber Command and Sicura

BALTIMORE, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sicura, defining the future of Security Control Management, is reinventing cybersecurity with the launch of a new software category during InfoSec World 2025. During a panel discussion featuring top security leaders from government and industry, the company will introduce Security Control Management (SCM), which offers a unified approach to risk management by operationalizing Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Secure By Design principles into a continuous, automated discipline. This approach addresses the urgent need to shift risk management from manual, after-the-fact reporting to proactive, embedded defense.

What:   Secure by Design, Not by Chance: The Rise of Security Control Management 

When:  Monday, October 27, 5 p.m. ET

Where: InfoSec World, Lake Buena Vista, Fla.

Who:    An elite panel of cybersecurity experts, including:

• Marene Allison, former CISO of Johnson & Johnson and Sicura advisor
• Major General Ryan Heritage (ret.), former director of operations at U.S. Cyber Command and Commander of Marine Corps Forces Cyberspace Command
• Lisa Umberger, co-founder and CEO of Sicura, former NSA operator and pioneer of SCM

"As increasingly sophisticated threats collide with sprawling, complex infrastructures, the need for a unified, proactive approach has never been clearer," Sicura's Umberger said. "At InfoSec World 2025, I'm thrilled to share a new framework for integrating security across every deployment – and to be joined by cybersecurity experts from both the public and private sector, who know what it takes to engineer a path forward."

InfoSec World attendees will gain an exclusive overview of why Security Control Management solutions are mission critical. With SCM, organizations can move from fragmented tools and reactive fixes to a more efficient, flexible model where security is prioritized as an operational necessity – not bolted on.

"Cyber breaches are becoming more complex and frequent. To protect our mission-critical systems, we must shift from reactive fixes to proactive alignment across teams, tools and processes," said Allison. "Secure by Design was a long-overdue call to embed cybersecurity into the product lifecycle. I'm gratified to see Sicura answering that call with the rigor and collaboration needed to build a roadmap that works for both industry and government. I look forward to joining the panel and exploring how Sicura's Security Control Management can turn this vision into reality."
