WHO: Matthew Moynahan, President and CEO, Veracode, Inc. WHAT: Software Assurance Forum, hosted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DoD) WHEN: Tuesday, October 2, 2007 from 1:40 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. EDT WHERE: McLean Hilton 7920 Jones Branch Drive McLean, Virginia 22102 DESCRIPTION: As software applications grow in complexity and size -- with multi-tier layers that are developed by geographically distributed workgroups or by offshore developers, the likelihood of flaws and exploitable vulnerabilities also increases. Government agencies are increasingly concerned about the risks that these complex commercial and custom developed applications can pose to military and civilian infrastructure. This application security challenge is further exacerbated by the lack of separation of duties between the developer and the testers, as well as the lack of standards and metrics available to quantify the potential risk posed by vulnerable applications. In this presentation, Moynahan will discuss how automated, independent assessments allow organizations to evaluate the operational risks of internally developed applications, as well as externally procured applications and components. Moynahan will also participate in the "SwA EcoSystem Panel" on Wednesday, October 3, 2007 from 1:30 p.m. - 2:50 p.m. EDT.About Veracode Veracode is the industry's first provider of automated, on-demand application security solutions.
