Cybersecurity by Design: Investigating the drivers and barriers for the adoption of cybersecurity by design
report
In this report, we aim to unveil these barriers, drivers, challenges and opportunities for organisations towards realising cybersecurity by design, with a specific interest in the drivers and barriers for organisations that deal with the development of cyber-physical products and systems. Such organisations are currently transitioning from purely physical products towards products that feature digital services and solutions and hence are experiencing the barriers and drivers for cybersecurity as we speak. In addition, we complement these insights to organisations which already have built up maturity in terms of cybersecurity by design to understand potential best practices that can be used. Accordingly, we pose the following research objective: What barriers, drivers, challenges and opportunities towards realising cybersecurity by design can be identified for organisation Through a series of semi-structured interviews, we present preliminary findings obtained from eight organisations on the role of cybersecurity for them and the actions they have taken to enable cybersecurity by design. We also communicate on what is driving but also hindering organisations to do so. Based on these preliminary findings, we propose a set of best practices that organisations may consider or reflect upon to foster cybersecurity by design.
