IEEE Cybersecurity Development Conference Gathers Industry Experts to Prioritize Security Innovation in Design & Development


IEEE (News - Alert), the world's largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity, today announced plans to host the IEEE Cybersecurity Development Conference (IEEE SecDev), a new event established as part of the IEEE Cybersecurity Initiative. IEEE SecDev will be held 3-4 November 2016, at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

IEEE SecDev, distinguished by its focus on how to build security in versus the common emphasis on security flaws and weaknesses, will bring together both academia and industry to encourage and disseminate ideas for secure system development. The focus on developers and researchers are important in moving cybersecurity forward, as both groups have valuable experience and ideas that can inform academic research, concepts, studies, code, and tools. The goal is to propose useful and thought provoking ideas, and to share knowledge on the art and science of secure system development.

This conference presents an opportunity for security researchers, professionals, and the broader development community to contribute to an in-depth exchange of ideas, processes, frameworks, and tools. Authors are invited to submit papers, abstracts, or tutorials by 16 June 2016 on relevant topics relatedto the following areas of interest:



- Security engineering processes, from requirements to maintenance
- Dynamic and static code analyses for security
- Programming languages and frameworks supporting security
- Testing strategies to ensure security
- Code reviews, red teams, and other human-centered assurance
- Security-focused systems; hardware/software/architecture designs
- Human-centered design for systems security
- Distributed systems design and implementation for security

IEEE member and IEEE SecDev Program Chair, Michael Hicks, offers his perspective on why a conference on security innovation is needed in his blog, which you can read here: http://bit.ly/HickSecDev.
