Wall Street Journal article on Software Security and upcoming events

["Kenneth R. van Wyk" <Ken () krvw com>]

Hi all,

FYI, a couple of interesting things going on in the software security space 
that those here on SC-L might appreciate:

- Good article/interview in yesterday's Wall Street Journal on the topic of 
Software Security.  The interview is with Gary McGraw, and I'm sure that no 
one here will be too surprised by the content.  It's just great to see that 
kind of visibility and attention being given to Software Security.  Check it

(Or just find a paper copy -- you know, the kind that our grandparents used to 
read. ;-)

- A couple of upcoming, fairly mainstream IT Security conferences both have 
numerous Software Security sessions on their agendas (including, for full 
disclosure, my own sessions at each).  I'm refering to CSI's upcoming 32nd 
annual conference (14-16 November in Washington, DC) and SANS's Silicon 
Valley event (24-30 September in San Jose, CA).  Here too, it's encouraging 
to me to see software security sessions prominently on the programs of these 
traditionally IT Security focused events.

Cheers,

Ken van Wyk
