Presenter: SWAP Leadership Team Description: The Software Assurance Marketplace (SWAMP) is an open initiative that brings together goals for advancing the quality and adoption rate of security software tools, lowering thresholds for use, and making their output easier to interpret, by creating a repository of tools and and resources for all. During this chapter meeting we will be providing an introduction of SWAMP by its leaders via live WebEx, followed by a discussion about the marketplace and how we could all benefit.

From the SWAMP website: "Researchers who develop new software assurance tools and methodologies will use the repositories and cyberinfrastructure offered by the marketplace to improve their technologies and tools, while software developers and adopters will use the same services to hunt for vulnerabilities in their software. Educators will use these services to offer hands-on experience in software assurance techniques to their students."
