We released joint guidance with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on “Product Security Bad Practices,” part of the #SecurebyDesign initiative. The guidance outlines risky product security practices for software manufacturers, particularly those supporting critical infrastructure and national critical functions. The bad practices are organized into three categories: product properties, security features, and organizational processes and policies. The guidance also includes recommended actions and additional resources to help software manufacturers prioritize security throughout the product development process. The public comment period is now open through November 30. https://go.dhs.gov/UxS
