Here's our take.

Secure By Design

Nice Pick

Developers should adopt Secure By Design when building critical applications, such as those handling sensitive data (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: threat-modeling, secure-coding-practices

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Reactive Security

Developers should learn reactive security to effectively handle inevitable security breaches in systems, as it complements proactive strategies by providing a framework for containment and recovery

Pros

• It is crucial in environments with legacy systems, high-risk applications, or when dealing with advanced persistent threats (APTs) where prevention alone is insufficient
• Related to: incident-response, siem-tools

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Secure By Design if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Reactive Security if: You prioritize it is crucial in environments with legacy systems, high-risk applications, or when dealing with advanced persistent threats (apts) where prevention alone is insufficient over what Secure By Design offers.

The Bottom Line

Secure By Design wins

Developers should adopt Secure By Design when building critical applications, such as those handling sensitive data (e
