New nonprofit Software Safety Institute launches to reduce harm from insecure software.
The Software Safety Institute (SSI), a new independent nonprofit, has launched to tackle preventable harm caused by unsafe and insecure software. SSI aims to improve software safety by changing industry incentives and practices through research, public education, and policy development. The institute highlights that software defects persist due to misaligned incentives, not lack of knowledge, and seeks to hold manufacturers accountable. SSI's work will support safer software design and governance, benefiting critical infrastructure and everyday users.
