Here's our take.

Security By Design

Nice Pick

Developers should adopt Security By Design when building applications that handle sensitive data (e

Pros

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

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 Security 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 Security By Design offers.

The Bottom Line

Security By Design wins

Developers should adopt Security By Design when building applications that handle sensitive data (e
