Invited Speaker
Speaker:
Gunnar Peterson - Arctec Group,
Minneapolis, MN (USA)
Title:
The Economics of Finding and Fixing Vulnerabilities in Distributed
Systems
Abstract:
Robert Morris Sr. has noted that “security and
especially cryptography are essentially economic issues.”
This talk describes the tradeoff analysis that occurs on a daily
basis in enterprise information security and software development
groups: what bugs and flaws are uncovered, what security
capabilities exist, and what is—in fact—the response
to security problems. We will explore the patterns that emerge to
see where the software security industry is going and why.
