That is one important part and need a mechanism to make it happen. There should not be a push back to say that I am doing every- thing good and you should not be bother about. Another crucial aspect is secure design, but the challenge lies in implementing it effectively. Often, discussions about functional requirements and design stem from those very requirements.

When architecting infrastruc- ture—both hardware and soft- ware—it's essential to consider security requirements from the outset. Security isn't just an add- on; it's a fundamental functional requirement. However, my practical observa- tion is that this aspect often gets overlooked.
