Dinner and Keynote Address
Security Assurance and Agile Development - an Industry Perspective

This presentation will discuss Oracle’s experience in adapting its software security assurance lifecycle methodology, Oracle Software Security Assurance (OSSA), to agile software development. While Oracle’s software development approach was originally a traditional “waterfall” methodology, through a series of over 100 acquisitions Oracle now has many product organizations which use some variant of agile development. Oracle’s Global Product Security/ Security Program Management (GPS SPM) organization, which is responsible for establishing and overseeing OSSA standards for secure development in Oracle products, has worked with agile product development groups within Oracle to adapt OSSA for these groups.
