Security by Design
Presenter: Marcia Booth, Data Access North America

Ah, security… never has a single word carried so much weight yet been so diffused in what it means! Your customers wish it were as simple as checking a box, but we all know it’s not that easy. Applications need to be designed and deployed with security in mind at many levels. We consider security in every decision we make about our products, and you should, too. Join a review of how we approach the topic of security and the many security-related features, techniques, tools and updates we provide to help you deliver on this critical aspect of doing business.
