Call for Participation in Secure Software by Design Event
The Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) is excited to announce the opening of registration and a call for presentations for the Secure Software by Design event. This anticipated two-day event will bring together professionals from various sectors to discuss vital topics related to software security.
Focus on Security in Software Development
The event is designed to emphasize the importance of a comprehensive approach to secure software development. The SEI champions a shift-left strategy that ensures security issues are addressed at the beginning stages of software development. This proactive approach significantly reduces potential vulnerabilities and promotes efficient project timelines.
Promoting Secure Software Lifecycle
During the event, attendees will explore best practices and methodologies that integrate security into every phase of the software lifecycle. Rather than treating security as an afterthought handled in separate stages, this approach aims to embed security measures throughout the development process. This holistic view is particularly crucial for software utilized in critical national security frameworks and helps expedite the delivery of secure software.
Engagement with Industry Leaders
The organizers of the Secure Software by Design event invite speakers to present on a diverse range of topics pertinent to secure software development. These submissions can include areas such as application threat modeling, establishing security requirements, creating secure software architectures, DevSecOps practices, secure coding methods, and much more. Experts from industry, academia, and government will come together to share insights and collaborate on advancements in secure software systems.
Topics for Presentations
Addressing contemporary challenges, the conference will feature presentations on secure development platforms and software assurance. Participants are encouraged to submit their proposals for discussions and presentations regarding ongoing challenges, innovations, and successful case studies in the field of secure software development. The deadline for these submissions is approaching, so interested participants should act quickly.
Event Details and Registration Information
The event is set to take place in Arlington, Virginia and will include interactive panels and networking opportunities for professionals in the field. To facilitate participation, the SEI has made registration accessible through their website. Please make sure to check the site for further details regarding attendance and speaker guidelines.
Collaboration with CMU CyLab Security and Privacy Institute
The collaboration with CMU CyLab Security and Privacy Institute underlines the event's commitment to advancing knowledge in software security. Their expertise will offer essential insights into current trends and innovations in secure software engineering.
