Presentation: Is This The Software Security Crisis?
In the 1960s and 1970s, we experienced the Software Quality Crisis. It brought about significant changes in how we worked, but not without much angst and misery. Are we even on the precipice of a crisis? What can we learn from that period now? Are we doomed to repeat history? This talk reminds us that our future is not a straight line to success, but that progress requires a periodic re-evaluation of what is important. It provides some tools for measuring our output’s security and privacy.
