FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
IT Professionals Guard Against Disaster at
First Annual Software Security Summit
Call for Speakers now open for new technology conference,
schedule for mid-April 2005 in San Diego
Huntington, N.Y., November 23, 2004 - BZ
Media LLC today announced the Software Security Summit™, the industry's
first technology conference focused on helping IT managers and software
professionals improve the security of the software that they are currently
designing and developing, and also secure the software that they already
own.
Alan Zeichick, Conference Chairman of the Software
Security Summit, said, "Software is vulnerable! Enterprises have spent
millions of dollars installing network firewalls and Virtual Private
Networks, but the real danger is in poorly written applications and
platforms. Worms exploit unchecked buffers. Hackers break in through a Web
site's front door: its user interface. And too little is being done to
address this impending crisis."
The Software Security Summit, to be held April 12-14,
2005, at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla, in San Diego, Calif., will help
development managers, software architects, applications programmers, and
other IT professionals understand the specific security weaknesses in
their software infrastructure.
Attendees will gain the skills to combat existing security
problems and learn how to develop new systems that are architected from the
ground up to resist exploitation.
Zeichick said, "Unlike other IT security conferences,
which focus on firewalling the network, the Software Security Summit gets
right to the heart of today's biggest challenge: protecting the software
running on servers and desktop systems. That's why the Software Security
Summit teaches from the perspective of the entire software development life
cycle, from architecture to coding to testing to deployment."
The conference will consist of one full day of tutorials
and two days of technical classes. More than 400 attendees are expected at
this exclusive, timely and topical conference. In addition to the technical
classes, 30 sponsors are expected to demonstrate their security products and
services at a separate expo hall.
The Call for Speakers is now open at
http://www.s-3con.com. Proposals for
full-day tutorials and technical classes are due by December 10, 2004.
Questions about the Software Security Summit should be
