Window Snyder (Chief Security Something or Other, Mozilla Corporation)

Filed under: Main Page — Administrator @ 1:18 pm

Presentation Title: Tools and Strategies for Securing a Large Development Project
Presentation Abstract:

Developing secure software is difficult. There is more information available on application security now than ever before. But how much of this information has been successfully used on a large scale, widely deployed, complex software project? What really works? Mozilla is making the process of securing a large software project transparent. Window Snyder will discuss the methods Mozilla uses to secure Firefox and share tools created by Mozilla. Developers can use these methods and tools to secure applications in their own environment. Ms. Snyder will also talk about the new security features coming in Firefox 3.
