April 15, 2024 By Nagesh Belludi Leave a Comment

Defect Seeding: Strengthen Systems, Boost Confidence Ever wondered how industries where safety and quality are paramount conduct vulnerability assessments to ensure their systems are always up to the task in critical situations? “Defect Seeding” is a method that intentionally plants faults to test system integrity and reliability of protocols, technology, and personnel.

Planting defects isn’t about causing trouble; rather, it’s a proactive assessment to ensure readiness under real-world conditions and guarantee reliable detection and rejection of faulty items. For instance, aviation security agencies conduct covert testing by planting security scenarios to assess personnel, procedures, and equipment effectiveness in spotting and handling threats.

Idea for Impact: Try Defect Seeding to furtively spot vulnerabilities, ensure everything’s up to par, and inform adjustments to protocols. It’s a great way to boost confidence in your systems.
