Breaking through the fog of misinformation!

This year’s summit focuses on software security and software publisher benefits of TagVault.org certified software identification (SWID) tags. Industry experts will provide details on how certified ISO SWID tags are used to improve software assurance processes and mitigate the risks and costs of software ownership. Presenters will also go into detail about how software publishers benefit by including TagVault.org certified SWID tags with their software products. In this summit, you will learn how:

certified SWID tags improve software supply chain management and supply side security.
certified tags improve security automation procedures in addition to improving software discovery and compliance accuracy.
software consumers use TagVault.org certified SWID tag requirements to improve relationships with software publishers and lower compliance risks.
software consumers can build and deploy “retrofit” tags for the software under management in the organization.
software publishers can effectively and efficiently add TagVault.org certified SWID tags to their software products.

The keynote for this year's summit will be given by Richard Struse, Deputy Director for Software Assurance for the U.S. Deptartment of Homeland Seucrity's National Cyber Security Division. Richard will discuss how Software ID Tags are an integral part of a standards-based cyber security ecosystem and the need for public-private collaboration to accelerate their adoption and use in both government and the private sector.

This summit also provides a forum for software publishers, purchasers and tool providers to discuss security, logistics and compliance problems that are directly attributable to the lack of accurate and authoritative software identification information. Learn how other organizations lower the risks and costs of IT processes that deal with software.

We will also have a training day on May 3, 2012 primarily focused on providing information to software publishers on how certified SWID tags can be easily, quickly and painlessly added to your software products in order to meet the growing customer demand for better and more accurate identification data.
