Peter Gutmann, Researcher, University of Auckland

 

While much attention has been given to PKI and PKI technology, very little is usually said about its actual, rather than claimed, effectiveness as an overall security measure. This session examines PKI's shortcomings -- copiously illustrated with examples ranging from the trivial, to the scary, to the comical -- as well as what works in the real world.

 

Peter Gutmann is a researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Auckland working on the design and analysis of security architectures and security usability.  He helped write the popular PGP encryption package, has authored a number of papers and RFC's on security and encryption, and is the author of the open source cryptlib security toolkit. In his spare time he pokes holes in whatever security systems and mechanisms catch his attention and grumbles about PKIs and the lack of consideration of human factors in designing security systems.

Metrics are BUNK! No, metrics will save us! Two smart guys debate both sides. In a zombie apocalypse, it’s a game of survival. As IT security matures and crawls out of the primordial ooze, we look to metrics to lift us from chaos. The desire is rational, but is it tangible? Amidst constant change, which metrics matter? Which don’t? What are the limits? Can they ever keep up with rates of change?

Philippe Courtot, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Qualys, Inc.

 

As cloud computing adoption accelerates, the security model is shifting from the network layer to focus more on the data and where it resides within global datacenters. This major shift in computing is forcing enterprises, vendors and security professionals to rethink their security model in order to make the data secure yet accessible everywhere. Technology futurist Paul Saffo will host a lively discussion on this topic with two cloud computing pioneers, Philippe Courtot of Qualys and Dave Cullinane of eBay/CSA, taking live questions from the audience via Twitter (#RSACcloud).

Adrian Lane, Chief Technology Officer/Analyst, Securosis

 

Transition from Waterfall to Agile always leaves some tasks behind, and secure code development is one of the casualties. Focusing on the efficient delivery of features, textbook implementations of Agile come at the expense of secure software development, and push security verification and services outside of the software. This session will examine this issue.

Prior to joining Securosis, Adrian served as the CTO/VP at companies such as IPLocks, Touchpoint, CPMi and Transactor/Brodia.
