By providing software developers and other key stakeholders with increased expertise in privacy and security, a foundation is laid for a cultural change in applications. This will integrate security and privacy as fundamental elements of digital systems.
Society Needs the Expertise
In a society where the increasing use of digital technology is a fact, the requirements for security around the technology are also increasing.

- There are several reasons why this expertise is in demand today, says Prosper K. Yeng, program manager of the new program.
- In today’s digital landscape, cyber security threats pose significant risks to businesses and individuals. For almost the past 2 decades, Verizon’s data breaches report indicates a significant yearly increase in global data breaches.
The new program in Secure Application Development and Deployment will contribute to increased security.
-Experts in Secure Application Development and Deployment will play a crucial role in mitigating these risks by ensuring that software applications are designed, coded, and deployed with security in mind, he says.
He continues:
