In an ever-changing world where the technological dependence is ever
increasing — the government wants to provide transparency, everyone has 500+
friends on Facebook, your kids can use the computer better than you can, your
bank allows transfers on the fly, you can meet your next first date (or your
future ex) based on an algortihm, you can apply for a loan, or even look up
medical records… In a world of Big Data, data mining, network breaches and the
cloud, what is the first line of defense for your important, personal, private
info'! Software Assurance. This talk will discuss the various definitions of software assurance, who it
relates to, as well as the ownership. We will talk about the recent law that was
passed National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 (NDAA) and what it means to
software assurance and career developers everywhere. We'll wrap up the
discussion by highlighting some common vulnerabilities of software, suggestions
for incorporating it into development and testing and finally several options
for practice. BIO: Ebony is a Senior Software Engineer that started
