Session 1
Software for Secure Systems
|
Chair:
Danyetta Fleming

Abstract
This session addresses various initiatives to examine software in secure systems issues.
Software is the principal, enabling means for delivering capabilities to end users. These
capabilities span the spectrum of mission-essential business systems to mission-critical
command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
(C4ISR) systems to complex weapon systems.
Many of these systems and software applications
now operate interdependently in a complex net-centric and cyber environment. The pace of
technological change continues to evolve along with the almost total system reliance on
software.
The goal of our panel is to discuss leading edge methods to achieve the level
of confidence that software functions as intended (and only as intended) and remains free
of vulnerabilities across legacy systems and systems being acquired.
