Security in technology is a double-edged sword for consumers and providers. It’s supposed to be a driver for technological progress. But consumers’ lack of confidence in security can make them slow to adopt new technologies. The secure-by-design (SBD) approach seeks to address this issue and to help build a technology ecosystem where consumers can feel confident entrusting their privacy to the industry. In fact SBD is now having an increased presence in regulation, and this will soon have implications within product markets worldwide.
