Virginia

Last Month
Last month I talked about the results of a DHS NCSD SwA initiative:

- "Mitigating risks in the software acquisition process", Stan Wisseman. DHS has released a draft guide on the topic.

- Open discussion on appsec trends for 2008 (attacks and countermeasures)

Next Meeting
Our next meeting will be on TUESDAY, 26 February from 6-8pm at the Booz Allen Herndon facility. Talks will include:

- "Electronic Voting 2008: What Are The Technical Issues?", Jeremy Epstein, Software AG. A very timely topic!

- "Secure Development in .NET", Younus Rashid, Booz Allen Hamilton

Pizza will be available for a small fee. If you plan on attending, RSVP so I can get you badge processing started.
