Web Security: Broken by default?
Web applications and used technologies are becoming more complex and if we (as developers) need to deal with security problems we mainly focus on fixing our code which can be very hard. At the end one part of the problem chain is still there; the browser. Browsers are known for being broken by default and that will make it even more hard to fix the problem, some people say it maybe not even possible at all!

There are some good web standards (discussed & drafted) that might be able to help out with these problems in some way. In this session we will dig into a couple of those in more detail and see if that’s really the case!

Building A Software Security Program
The proliferation of applications of all types continues unabated. As organizations put more of their business functions in custom applications their risk profile increases tremendously. Application security is more difficult than any other area of security as it relies on the due diligence of people supported by limited processes whereas other aspects of security can be more easily automated and are supported by well-defined policies. The successful management of the development and release process through a comprehensive Software Security Program that incorporates appropriate processes and check points will allow organizations to reduce their risk profile while benefiting from a more efficient end-to-end development process.

Please join me as I will provide an overview of how one organization built a Software Security Program that addressed People, Process and Technology challenges surrounding software development and security. I will highlight the approach we took and the benefits we are reaping in both lower costs and lower risk profiles of their applications.
