NORTHPORT, NY — (Marketwired) — 09/26/16 — , a provider of an award-winning suite of fast and affordable tools that help software developers, testers and security analysts find, prioritize and manage software vulnerabilities, today announced that its CEO, will participate on a panel at , being held in Washington, D.C., October 11-14, 2016.
Dr. D–Amico will be on a panel titled “Should there be an Underwriters Laboratories Certification for Software in IoT Products?” being held on October 13 at 2:15 p.m. Her fellow panelists include: , founder and CTO of Sonatype, and , program manager at the Cyber Security Division of the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology (DHS S&T). The panelists will discuss the pros and cons of the Cybersecurity Assurance Program, a collaboration of DHS, Underwriters Laboratories and industry partners, that would test and certify the security of devices that are part of the Internet of Things (IoT), such as infusion pumps and refrigerators. One of the goals of the program is to ensure that software embedded in these devices is free of vulnerabilities that could be exploited.
“The Cybersecurity Assurance Program is a very controversial topic,” said CEO for Code Dx. “Proponents believe that it will provide the necessary security safeguards for the vastly expanding Internet of Things; while opponents see it as too large of an investment for the small number of attacks that it would be designed to prevent. Our panel will discuss the opinions of both sides and the impact it may have on the application security community.”
At AppSec USA 2016, Code Dx will be co-exhibiting with the (Software Assurance Marketplace) in booth G8 and providing a live demo of its Application Vulnerability Management System.
