Trends in Application Development
and the Impact on the Business
Juraj Siska, Vice President,
Software Business Unit, Laurus Technologies
Companies deploying new
applications and software-based systems must now
carefully consider how those systems will impact
of two often overlooked and seemingly unrelated
topics: Protection from cyber-based attacks on
corporate IT systems and new laws and regulatory
requirements surrounding compliance and privacy.
As cyber-attacks have increased nearly 900%
since 2005, changes to the application mix
within the enterprise can often impact the
overall security strategy. Often new
applications inadvertently introduce security
risks who not only affect the company’s
operations, but may also subject them to
unnecessary legal risk due to non-compliance
with laws and regulations.
When deploying new applications, IT
professionals require systemic approach to the
design, development and adaption of new
applications, which take threats and
vulnerabilities into account
In this session, the audience will learn the
following
-
Common threats and
vulnerabilities in the modern IT environment
-
Impact of regulatory and
compliance efforts on application
development. In particular
-
Regulatory reporting requirements
-
Audit trail
-
Access request and approval
-
Risk based approach to
authorization
-
Continuous monitoring and
testing

Measurements that
Matter: Implementing Software Quality in
Application Development
Mary Johnston, Director, Business Systems, HSBC
Good decisions rely on accurate information.
Without knowing where the greatest risks to
critical applications lie, decisions can only be
made based on “best guess” analysis. Metrics are
needed to analyze and track the quality of IT
environments, guiding development and supporting
resource allocation.
In this session attendees will learn:
-
The value of implementing an assessment
process that includes concrete quality
metrics.
-
How to use Technical Quality metrics to
improve performance across the software
development lifecycle.
-
How executives can use the metrics to better
manage their development teams, whether
outsourced, internal, or both.
-
How HSBC successfully used these metrics to
reduce their application development and
production risks.

Strategies for Achieving User Trust and High
Adoption Rates
Victor Sturgeon, Senior Consultant, HALOCK
Security Labs
The success of any application development
project can be measured by the level of user
adoption. Ensuring that success requires more
and more focus on ensuring that users trust you
and your applications. Protecting user data
safeguards not only your organization, but it
promotes higher adoptions rates by protecting
your users’ most important assets; their private
information.
In this session attendees will hear:
-
* Common mistakes in application development
* Why these mistakes are made
* Attacks and Breaches
* The cost of securing and not securing your
applications
* Tools for short-term and long-term app
security
Don’t ignore security or underestimate the trust
that your users put into your systems.
One breach is all it takes.
