SecAppDev 2011 will take place from February 28th to March 4th in the Groot Begijnhof, Leuven, Belgium.
SecAppDev is a series of intensive one-week courses on Secure Application Development, run by secappdev.org, a non-profit organization that aims to broaden security awareness in the development community and advance secure software engineering practices. Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management are founding partners. When we ran our first annual course in 2005, emphasis was on awareness and security basics, but as the field matured and a thriving security training market developed, we felt it was not appropriate to compete as a non-profit organization. Our focus has hence shifted to providing a platform for more leading-edge and experimental material. Our courses are taught by world-leading instructors from academia and industry. We look toward academics to provide research results that are ready to break into the mainstream and attract people with an industrial background to try out new content and formats. For the presentation in February-March 2011, we are proud to have once again attracted contributions from software security thought leaders such as - Prof. dr. ir. Bart Preneel who heads COSIC, the renowned crypto lab. - Ken van Wyk, the moderator of this list. - John Steven, a sought-after architect and technical lead for high-performance, scalable Java EE systems. - Prof. dr. Dan Wallach, Rice University's computer security lab head. - Gunnar Peterson, focused on distributed systems security for large mission critical systems. We do not target security experts nor developers of security products, but rather developers whose main focus not being security, nonetheless need to be sufficiently security-savvy to deliver reliable applications. We are trying to plug the security blind spot of many academic software engineering courses. We cover a wide range of facets of secure software engineering including - requirements analysis - development processes - project management - economic/business aspects - cryptography - identity and access control and management - architecture - design - coding - testing SecAppDev 2011 is the 7th edition of a widely acclaimed course, attended by an international audience from a broad range of industries including financial services, telecom, consumer electronics and media. The course is run in very pleasant surroundings, a UNESCO world heritage site dating back to the 13th century and we have a well-attended social program.
