“The world’s most critical business processes are carried out by
software, so it is essential to understand both the utility and the
risk that it brings to those processes,” said Dr. Herbert Thompson.
“In the business world, security is paramount. To design, build and
deploy secure applications, developers must be able to think ahead
of software flaws and integrate security into each phase of the
application development life cycle. This presentation will offer
developers an inside view into preventing software vulnerabilities,
allowing them to improve their skills for the benefit of their
companies and their customers.”
