We'll also cover potential regulatory requirements that affect the security/privacy needs of an application and drill down into the ?development' challenges, for example, encryption of data. Protect your Applications: Strategies that Can be Applied to Applications - Graham Elliot/Rocky Heckman In this session we'll demonstrate strategic security principals via the process of threat modeling. Discover how threat models gives developers and architects an advantage over hackers by enabling them to document and mitigate against threats and vulnerabilities. This session will also cover: - The threat modeling process employed at Microsoft - The tool used to develop these threat models. Application Development Principles and Best Practices - Dave Glover In this session we'll cover how to identify threats and vulnerabilities posed by an application's design, and how to document mitigations to these vulnerabilities, including the actual 'code' for these mitigation techniques. Creating Reliable and Robust Applications with Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 - Andrew Coates In this session we'll reveal how tools can take us further down the track to building more secure and reliable applications. This session will highlight reliability and security features in Visual Studio Team System and show how some hacks could have been prevented.
