RunSafe Security shares how Secure by Design is shaping their software

Building Resilient OT Systems Starts with Secure Software

In this video, Shane Fry, Chief Technology Officer at RunSafe Security, discusses the company’s proactive approach to Secure by Design and what it means for operational technology (OT) manufacturers.  Long before signing the CISA Secure by Design pledge, RunSafe had already begun rewriting critical components of its software in memory-safe languages like Rust and implementing architecture changes to prevent exploitability. Shane explains why a security company must never become the attack vector—especially when protecting critical infrastructure—and how RunSafe’s ongoing enhancements reflect a deeper commitment to building resilient, secure products from the ground up. He also touches on the increasing convergence of IT and OT networks and why a Secure by Design mindset is vital in the face of incidents like the American Water attack.
