Organizations today need to meet increasingly demanding security and compliance requirements, while software applications and business processes get evermore complex and agile (e.g. Service Oriented Architecture, Business Process Modeling). According to industry analysts, most security products in use today focus on the network layer, while the majority of cyber attacks today exploit vulnerabilities on the application layer. Application security and a secure development process are therefore a critical element of any security strategy. However, application security is often not dealt with effectively due to time and cost pressures, especially in the current economic climate.
In this webinar, you will learn:
1) application security challenges and solutions
2) agile SOA security challenges and solutions
3) aspects and stages of the secure development lifecycle (including policy abstraction, externalization, authoring, automation, enforcement, monitoring, and verification)
4) how OpenPMF can be used to protect and monitor agile applications with minimal effort by automatically generating technical security policies for your applications and processes from intuitively captured security & compliance requirements.
5) how the newly packaged, award-winning OpenPMF 2.0 application security automation product (www.openpmf.com) version can be used in action for Intalio BPMS (www.intalio.com), the leading open-source-based Business Process Modeling (BPM) application automation vendor.

Dr. Ulrich Lang, CEO & Co-Founder ObjectSecurity
Dr. Ulrich Lang (CEO, co-founder ObjectSecurity) received his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory (Security Group) on conceptual aspects of middleware security in 2003 (sponsored by the UK Defence and Evaluation Research Agency (DERA), after having completed a Master's Degree (M. Sc.) in Information Security with distinction from Royal Holloway College (University of London) in 1997. On the management side, he has recently completed a Business Marketing Strategy course at the Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University). Prior to his M. Sc. he studied computer science & management at the University of Munich and at Royal Holloway College (University of London). He has served in the German federal civil defence (technical and logistical relief) for several years. He has also previously worked as a proposal evaluator for public-funded R&D projects and as an independent information security consultant on various CORBA based banking projects. Ulrich Lang is the lead author on a book written with Rudolf Schreiner on “Developing Secure Distributed Systems with CORBA”, and published various articles in journals and many publications at international conferences and workshops. In addition to his strategic managerial activities, Ulrich Lang's current interests are organisational information security, security policy development, and security visualisation for complexity reduction. He is currently involved in several security and software projects, including ObjectSecurity's collaboration with the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory.
