Abstract	Secure by Design is a proactive approach to software development that integrates security principles from the earliest stages of the design and development lifecycle. This methodology shifts away from reactive, post-deployment security measures, emphasizing the systematic identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities during architectural planning, coding, and testing. By prioritizing risk assessment, threat modeling, secure coding practices, and continuous monitoring, Secure by Design reduces the likelihood of exploitation, lowers long-term security costs, and aligns with both technical and business objectives. This paper explores the foundational principles of Secure by Design, including its emphasis on least privilege, defense-in-depth, and fail-safe defaults, while highlighting the role of automated tools and iterative testing in maintaining robust security postures. The discussion underscores the economic and operational benefits of embedding security into software design, advocating for its adoption as a core component of modern development practices.
