BSA and Its Members Committed to Secure Software
Roll Call, March 7, 2023.

BSA | The Software Alliance Policy Director Henry Young discusses how software companies that sell to commercial enterprises take software security seriously.
Well-established software companies that sell to commercial enterprises “do take security seriously and invest heavily in it,” said Henry Young, policy director at BSA |The Software Alliance, a trade group that represents companies including IBM, Microsoft, Salesforce and others.
“If there is a path that we think will lead to more secure software, I think we're totally on board,” Young said.
Shifting liability to companies for making software with poor security features may help the industry overall by curbing “fly-by-night operators” who are not interested in long-term market presence, Young said.
