Collaborate on approaches to improve software security

The Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (CMU SEI) has been in the forefront of secure software development, promoting a “shift left” approach whereby security weaknesses are addressed, prevented, or eliminated earlier in the software development cycle, which saves time and money.

Building on this approach, Secure Software by Design 2023 seeks to promote security being an integral aspect of the entire software lifecycle as a result of following deliberate, intentional engineering processes rather than security being addressed in individual stages as one-off activities.

Secure Software by Design 2023 is intended to improve the state of this holistic secure development approach by bringing together thought leaders in this area for presentations and discussions on all aspects of secure software systems development including application threat modeling, development of security requirements, secure software architectures, DevSecOps, secure development platforms & pipelines, software assurance, secure coding practices, software testing, and more.
