Secure by default: recommendations from the CISA’s newest guide, and how Cloudflare follows these principles to keep you secure

The Cloudflare team has developed a new approach to secure-by-design development that ensures the security of its products from the start. This process involves investing significant resources into developing secure systems, prioritizing features and tools that protect customers rather than expanding product features that enlarge the attack surface. By building secure products that are easy to adopt and require minimal ongoing customer oversight, Cloudflare is able to reduce the likelihood of being compromised. The company also employs techniques such as educating executive leadership on the importance of continual reinvestment in modern security standards, and running experiments to build credibility for its secure-by-design approach.
