Secure Software by Design Event Announces Keynote Speakers and Agenda
• Article
July 22, 2024—The CERT Division of the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) has announced the lineup of speakers and presentations for its Secure Software by Design event. The in-person conference takes place August 6-7 in Arlington, Virginia.
The second annual SEI Secure Software by Design conference seeks to promote security as an integral aspect of the entire software lifecycle by following deliberate, intentional engineering processes rather than addressing security in individual stages as one-off activities.
This year’s presentations by SEI security researchers and industry practitioners delve into a range of secure-by-design topics:
- application programming interface (API) security
- quantum computing and security
- security and infrastructure as code
- open source and supply chain risk management
- automated repair of static analysis alerts
- improving software assurance using artificial intelligence (AI)
- writing secure and fault tolerant applications
- DevSecOps, genetic algorithms, AI, and machine learning
The conference’s two keynote speakers are Kirk Lawrence, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s section chief for secure by design, and Chase “Dr. Zero Trust” Cunningham, retired Navy chief cryptologist.
The SEI has been in the forefront of secure software development, promoting a shift-left approach whereby security weaknesses are addressed, prevented, or eliminated earlier in the software development cycle, which saves time and money. The Secure Software by Design conference brings together SEI research and practical industry experience to advance the practice of building secure software.
