Veeam Software is proud to announce its commitment to the Secure by Design Pledge with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
As the #1 leader by market share in data resilience, with offerings that include data security and incident response, Veeam has a front-row seat to the ongoing growth in cyberattacks on organizations of all sizes and industries. Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility and starts with having security in all aspects of software design, development, and product delivery. By joining the Secure by Design pledge, Veeam reaffirms our commitment to security for our customers, partners, and products.
What is the CISA Secure by Design pledge?
The CISA launched its Secure by Design initiative in April 2023, and the agency continues to champion progress in this area.
The Secure by Design Pledge is a voluntary initiative that invites companies who develop enterprise software to integrate robust cybersecurity practices in their product development and service offerings including on-premises, cloud, and SaaS products. The goals outlined in the pledge include key principles for building secure software and systems, including:
- Increasing the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA)
- Reducing the use of default passwords
- Reducing entire classes of vulnerability
- Increasing security patch installation by customers
- Publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy
- Demonstrating transparency in vulnerability public disclosure
- Demonstrating an increase in your customers’ ability to gather evidence of cyber intrusions
Veeam’s Commitment to the Secure by Design Pledge
Veeam takes security very seriously, and our existing best practices already demonstrate the robustness of our security posture and our commitment to the pledge.
“Signing the Secure by Design pledge reinforces our dedication to embedding security at every phase of our development process for our products and services,” said Gil Vega, CISO at Veeam. “This commitment signifies our leadership in developing products that are cyber resilient.”
This pledge solidifies our position as a trusted partner. Veeam’s offerings will remain secure by design, and our commitment to the pledge will endure as we continuously adapt to the ever-evolving cyberthreats.
