WHO: Chris Eng, Senior Director, Security Research, Veracode,
Inc.
WHAT: Contingency Planning and Management Conference
WHEN: Wednesday, May 21, 2008
10:45 AM - 12:00 PM PDT
WHERE: The Mirage
Las Vegas, NV
DESCRIPTION: "Assessing Risk at the Software Level"
A critical piece of securing any organization's
infrastructure is the ability to assess the risk of the
software running within that organization. In fact,
more than 70 percent of security attacks are now
happening at the software level. Whether those
applications are developed in-house, offshore, directly
purchased, or inherited through an M&A transaction,
enterprises are clearly at risk. If this risk is not
managed properly, organizations face the consequences
of a data breach that could cost them customers, drive
down their stock price and/or devastate their brand. In
this presentation, Chris Eng will examine approaches to
third-party software validation and how it can help
organizations ensure the quality of software and
applications they implement. Attendees will leave armed
with strategies to diminish operational risk and
maintaincorporate value.
