Preparing for the Impact of EO 14028 on Software Security




Solutions Review’s Contributed Content Series is a collection of contributed articles written by thought leaders in enterprise software categories. Curtis Yanko of CodeSecure examines the dark side of executing Executive Order 14028 and how it will impact private-sector software security.


Despite the fact that the Cybersecurity Executive Order, known as EO 14028, governs software designed for use by government agencies, these guidelines will eventually extend to and reshape private sector software security practices– especially for hardware used in critical infrastructure and safety-critical industries, including automotive, aerospace, IoT, medical devices, and more.


We can expect EO 14028, which requires software supplies to adopt NIST SSDF, a set of guidelines and best practices for secure software development, to force profound changes in private sector software security requirements. Specifically, it calls for a proactive shift to integrating security considerations across the software development lifecycle, from design and coding to testing and deployment. While this transition will necessitate a shift in mindset and resource allocation, it is a critical step towar ..
