The Visionaries

The Visionaries are those who see a better future and are working to build it.

They are the researchers, regulators, advocates, engineers, and executives who believe that software can and must be safer. They understand that the market won't fix itself — that structural change requires structural intervention.

Visionaries push for memory-safe languages, secure defaults, liability reform, and transparency. They build coalitions, shift incentives, and prove that safer software is possible.

The secure-by-design movement is a visionary project. Which "V" are you?
