> Agility and Security: Two Great Tastes Which Go Great Together
>
> Security is usually an afterthought on software development projects, regardless of the paradigm being followed, but 
> it doesn't have to be this way. Traditional approaches would have you add a lot of additional bureaucracy to your 
> process and the agile extremists will tell you to write up some stories on index cards. Good luck with those 
> strategies. Disciplined agile teams, particularly those working at scale, have discovered ways to address enterprise 
> issues such as security in effective manners which gets the job done without unnecessary bureaucracy, albeit with 
> more sophisticated tools than a stack of index cards. This presentation overviews the Agile Process Maturity Model 
> (APMM), what it means to scale agile approaches to meet your real-world needs, and strategies for addressing security 
> concerns in a disciplined agile manner.
> Scott W. Ambler is the Practice Leader for Agile Development at IBM Corporation. He works in the IBM Methods group 
> developing process materials and travels the world helping clients to understand and adopt software processes that 
> are right for them. A prolific author, Scott has received awards for several books, including those focused on the 
> Unified Process, agile software development, Unified Modeling Language, and development based on the CMM (Capability 
> Maturity Model). A widely recognized expert on Agile Process, he is a regular speaker at international IT conferences 
> and a senior contributing editor for Dr. Dobb> '> s Journal. Scott also writes the Agile Software Development at 
> Scale blog on IBM DeveloperWorks.

> Prior to working for IBM, Scott led the development of several software processes, including Agile Modeling (AM), 
> Agile Data (AD), Enterprise Unified Process (EUP), and Agile Unified Process (AUP). He holds a BSC in computer 
> science and a MS in information science from the University of Toronto.
