The one-day conference "Developing Security and Securing Development: Hosting, Outsourcing and Compliance" will be held on Sept. 19 at South San Francisco Conference Center in conjunction with SecureWorld. The event starts with Archie Reed's keynote and three panel discussions ensue: "Best Practices for Compliance," "Venture Capital & Start Ups -- Where's the Business?" and "Storage and Disaster Recovery- Offsite/Onsite/Outsourced secure storage." Experts will talk about how companies are integrating security and compliance into in- and out-sourced development, the latest technologies with the most promise and what criteria investors are using to pick winning security technologies.

    Ames Cornish, SDForum Board Member and managing partner of Montebello Partners, said, "Criminals are increasingly profiting from identity theft, cyber-extortion and credit card fraud. Meanwhile, our world is becoming exponentially more connected, and more vulnerable through on-line commerce, outsourcing and open community development models. This event offers a unique opportunity to hear an outstanding group of technology visionaries and investors who will describe how to reduce your risks and profit from new market opportunities."

    Archie Reed, Distinguished Technologist at Hewlett-Packard and this year's keynote speaker, said: "Implementing comprehensive security solutions without inhibiting roductivity continues to be topmost in the minds of company executives across the globe. Increasingly, companies have employees, partners and customers scattered in far-flung places. Ensuring maximum efficiency without compromising security is of critical importance."
