SECURITY INNOVATION CEO TO DISCUSS SECURITY MISTAKES ORGANIZATIONS MAKE
AND HOW TO PREVENT THEM AT RSA EUROPE
Wilmington, MA - October 2, 2007 - Security Innovation, the
authority on application security and leading independent provider of
risk assessment, risk mitigation and training services, today announced
that its CEO Ed Adams will be presenting a session at RSA Europe on
October 23, “Biggest Security Mistakes Organizations Make.” Adams, a
seasoned veteran and author in the information security space, will
discuss the underlying causes of security mistakes, specific mistakes
organizations make, and best practices necessary for a secure process of
software development, data handling and personnel management.
Security mistakes are costly and all too prevalent. Given the obvious
repercussions of poor security strategies, one is inclined to believe
change agents are in place. But organizations continue to make seemingly
avoidable mistakes when it comes to security. Participants in this
presentation will learn:
- Underlying causes of security mistakes, including both business and psychological reasons that cause them
- The TOP FIVE most critical security mistakes and oversights that organizations make and how to avoid these mistakes in your organization
- Best practices and infrastructure needed to build secure software
- A collection of case studies and real-world examples of security failures and successes
This session will be ideal for managers and executives looking to
learn about software security issues in order to introduce a better
process for their organizations. It will also be useful for software
development or IT teams who need to build or manage applications and
want to know the security pitfalls they are prone to.
