Synopsis

There has been a recent UK government focus on Secure by Design, with the development of mandatory principles and best practice guidance on the activities for use in delivery. To enable secure-by-design practices to scale, there is also a need for architectural thinking techniques and artefacts to enable consistent architectural decisions and clear communication. For skilled and experienced security professionals, there is a need to recognize their value to the industry.

The session will:

Discuss the foundational design, architecture and engineering concepts

Provide an overview of architectural thinking for secure design
