With software security, the best defense is a good offense. A good offense starts with security as part of the whole development lifecycle – not just an afterthought -- and requires specialized security knowledge and tools that organizations can adopt quickly and with minimal disruption to their development process. The Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) is an industry-leading software security assurance process that can play a critical role in embedding security into your organization’s software and culture. To help organizations better understand and implement a successful SDL program, Microsoft recently created the SDL Pro Network, a select group of providers who can provide actionable SDL guidance and solutions to make software and software development process more secure.

Highlights:

Michael Howard, Principal Security Program Manager at Microsoft, will discuss SDL drivers, its improved flexibility, and Microsoft success stories Ed Adams, CEO at Security Innovation, will discuss how to jump start your software security efforts and best practices for integrating knowledge, technology and process Jon Oltsik, a Senior Analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, will discuss the value of the SDL as an industry standard to help organizations create more secure software View>>
