Application security can no longer be an afterthought, or its responsibility relegated to network and firewall devices. Every network is “hackable”; and once inside the hacker has free reign unless the applications themselves prevent misuse and abuse. Making security a development requirement saves time & money, and most importantly, protects your critical data from exploitation. The seminar's keynote speaker Danny Allan, Director of Security Research for Watchfire, an IBM Company, will discuss the business value and processes of incorporating security into the application development methodology, and how to do it with minimal pain.

• The 5 Vowels Of Secure Software
• What your developers never told you about security
• Security Implications for Web Services
• The Top 10 Application Weaknesses
• How you CAN afford to write secure code

The morning will conclude with an integrated demonstration of a secure development lifecycle - requirements to release - with Rational ClearQuest, Rational AppScan, Rational Build Forge.
