San Antonio OWASP Chapter: June 2008 Meeting

Topic: Top Ten Strategies to Secure Your Code

Presenter: Michael Howard, Principal Security Program Manager at Microsoft Corp.

Date: June 25th, 11:30am – 1:00pm

Location:

San Antonio Technology Center (Web Room) 3463 Magic Drive San Antonio, TX 78229 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=3463+Magic+Drive,+San+Antonio,+TX+78229

Abstract:

Many people think security knowledge is out of their grasp and that such expertise belongs only to the security high-priesthood. First, there is no such thing as a "security high-priesthood"; all software developers should have some security expertise. Second, regardless of the programming languages you use, or the operating systems you deploy on, there are some very simple rules you can follow that will help secure your applications.

Come listen to Michael's thoughts on how to secure code based on his work with thousands of software developers inside and outside Microsoft. There are, of course, plenty of security war stories!

Presenter Bio:

Michael is a software security expert, author of several books and many papers and articles, and a frequent speaker at security-related conferences. He was notably involved in Microsoft's development and implementation of what was termed the "Security Development Lifecycle". Sodas and snacks will be provided. Feel free to bring a brown-bag lunch.
