Effective risk reduction and increased product security for critical infrastructure

Why secure by design and threat modeling for critical infrastructure?
With subsectors impacting national security, public health, systems and networks, critical infrastructure remains a lucrative target for cyber attackers looking to obtain personal or patient data and other high value assets to cause maximum damage.
With continued technological advancements too, the risk landscape is emerging and expanding, and more has to be done to secure products, services and information. Factoring in secure by design principles and strategies, enables organizations to create more secure products, by design and by default. Increasing the resiliency of systems and products.
Adding threat modeling into the SDLC from the design phase, is another layer to see new threats or weaknesses that can be missed by scanning tools and other traditional approaches.
MITRE EMB3D is a comprehensive framework designed to safeguard embedded devices used in industries like healthcare, automotive, and critical infrastructure, to improve the overall security of embedded devices' hardware and software.
MITRE EMB3D provides a structured model that identifies potential cyber threats, maps them to specific device properties, and suggests mitigation strategies. The framework will be updated when necessary with new vulnerabilities and defenses, ensuring it stays relevant as security risks evolve over time.
