International Secure Systems Development Conference 2011

Following on from a successful event last year, the 2nd International Secure Systems Development Conference is being held in London on the 18th and 19th May 2011

With three tracks (management, technical and SCADA/embedded systems), across two full days, six key note sessions, a building security in breakfast for early risers and four panel sessions, it looks like it will be a busy couple of days.

The conference has the tag line "Dealing with Tomorrow's Threats Today - by Designing Security In", but I think the detailed programme gives a better feel for what's on. The sessions which particularly caught my eye were:

• Management
  • Setting up a Governance Programme for Secure Development
  • Developing Attack Intelligence
  • Outsourcing Secure Application Development
  • Threat modelling Trust Models
  • COTS Software Assurance Schemes
• Technical
  • Can Secure Coding be Agile Development?
  • Analysing Legacy Software
  • Architecting for Secure Patching
  • Virtualizing Development
• SCADA/embedded systems
  • Integrity in Safety Critical Projects
  • Configuration Management Interfaces – problems and solutions
  • Virtualizing Embedded Devices
  • Using Cloud Services for Embedded Development
