The Secure by Design Reality Check: From Policy to Practice

For Public Sector and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) organizations, the traditional point-in-time accreditation model has become a dangerous bottleneck. Legacy systems, once approved, often remain untouched for over a decade while adversaries and the tactics they deploy, evolve daily. The shift toward a Secure by Design (SbD) framework is no longer optional—it is a requirement for operational survival in an era of rapid AI advancement and shifting global threats.

Join Clem Craven, Director of Immersive’s Cyber Resilience Team and former RAF Police Counterintelligence Investigator, as he moderates a candid panel discussion featuring experts from MOD Abbey Wood (DE&S), the MOD London CySAAS team, and Rolls-Royce. This session will explore how both government agencies and commercial contractors are navigating the challenging journey of continuous, risk-based assurance.

What we’ll cover:

  • The Policy vs. Implementation Gap: Gain a full perspective on balancing digital policy with the commercial reality of building and securing hardware and OT.
  • The SQEP Shortage: Addressing the critical lack of Suitably Qualified and Experienced Personnel and how to train the next generation of security professionals.
  • Agile vs. Arbitrary: Why we must move away from static accreditation cycles toward a model of continuous assurance that adapts to daily tactical evolutions and modern threats. 
  • Using AI with Integrity: How to leverage AI tools responsibly to aid in the journey toward practicing Secure by Design. 
  • Keeping Humans in-the-Loop: While technology helps manage the complexity of SbD, human expertise remains the final line of defense against system vulnerabilities.

Whether you are a CISO, a technical leader, or a GRC professional, this webinar offers a unique view of the SbD journey, from the experts on the front lines of both policy design and implementation.
