Summary
Automox CISO Jason Kikta recaps RSA Conference 2024 and the announcement he traveled there to see. CISA's Secure by Design pledge drew 68 companies, including Automox, who voluntarily signed it. The pledge matters less for any single technical control and more for introducing accountability into corporate security culture. Signers tie their reputation to making measurable progress over the following year. Kikta covers each commitment: multi-factor authentication, eliminating default passwords, reducing whole classes of vulnerability, security patching, vulnerability disclosure, CVE transparency, and giving customers evidence of intrusions. Most of these were already baked into how Automox operates.
