DESCRIPTION:\n	In some sense\, software is the lifeblood of most modern co
 mplex systems. Software can fail\, but worse yet\, software can be intenti
 onally made to fail by attackers. Instead of defending our systems by isol
 ating them from the network (an impossible task)\, we must build security 
 in from the beginning. Both social networking and mobile device security p
 rovide important security lessons that can inform a reasoned approach. Mod
 ern malicious code\, including the Zeus Trojan\, Stuxnet\, and other persi
 stent web threats\, is as sophisticated as it is insidious. And future tre
 nds in attacks are even more alarming\, leveraging rootkits\, multi-core a
 ttacks\, and hard-to-diagnose timing issues. Our sole recourse is software
  security. The good news is that we actually know what to do to build secu
 rity in. \n\n	About the speaker\n\n	Gary McGraw is the CTO of Cigital\, In
