Reflections on SwA Forum Fall 2011
This week I attended and spoke at the Software Assurance Forum Fall 2011 in Arlington, Virginia.
With three tracks running, my own talk was in the "SwA at the Code Level". It seemed to be received well and the audience asked some great questions including some relating to practicality and scaleability. There were also some good suggestions for me to investigate concerning integration with, and cross-referencing with, other standards and protocols.
On the remainder of the day I listed to Jack Mannino talking about the OWASP Top 10 Mobile Risks, Jeff Williams on OWASP Acquisition Language for Software Assurance, and Jim Manico on Scalable Application Security Practices.
On Thursday, I attended the discussions on education and training, the educational supply chain and standards for software transparency. On Friday the presentations focused on software lifecyle development afforts including the effects of standards, people and culture.
I really enjoyed the event and heard about things I wouldn't normally have had time to investigate. And yes, I have some homework to do now.
Update 18th October 2011: The presentations at the Software Assurance Fall 2011 Forum have been published.
