SECURITY INNOVATION VICE
PRESIDENT TO DISCUSS SOFTWARE SECURITY
AT SOFTWARE BUSINESS 2006
CONFERENCE
Wilmington, MA - October 18, 2006 - Security
Innovation, the independent authority on application security
assessment, education and risk mitigation, today announced that its
Vice President of Strategy Pete Jenney will deliver “How to Break
Software Security” at the Software Business 2006 Conference in
Denver. With IT security problems impacting the corporate world at
the rate of once a week per company, Jenney’s presentation will arm
software executives and IT security staff with guidance on how to
proactively recognize and fix vulnerabilities in their software.
Software Business 2006 is geared toward helping software company
executives make strategic business, financial and technology
decisions. Having conducted security assessments for many of today’s
largest software vendors, Security Innovation is uniquely positioned
to comment on the vulnerabilities most often found in applications.
In his presentation Jenney will discuss tools and techniques that
vendors can employ to help uncover security problems within their
software before those applications are deployed and vulnerable. He
will introduce a fault model for security testers to conceptualize
the types of bugs they are likely to find in security testing, and
lead the audience through a set of proven software attacks that have
been effective at exposing security bugs.

“For software companies, it is exponentially more expensive to
fix vulnerabilities found post-development than it would have been
to prevent flaws during development,” said Jenney. “To design,
build, and deploy secure applications, software companies must
integrate security into every facet of their application development
life cycle. These companies want to ensure that their software
testers and developers attain the specialized knowledge, insight and
intuition needed to find and recognize security vulnerabilities.
This presentation will help improve their skills for the benefit of
their companies and their customers.”
