4th International Workshop on Secure Software Engineering, Krakow, Polen

<pre>Software is an integral part of everyday life, and we expect and depend<br>upon software systems to perform correctly&#046; Software security is about<br>ensuring that systems continue to function correctly also under<br>malicious attack&#046; As most systems now are web&#8211;enabled, the number of<br>attackers with access to the system increases dramatically and thus the<br>threat scenario changes&#046; The traditional approach to secure a system<br>includes putting up defence mechanisms like IDS and firewalls, but such<br>measures are no longer sufficient by themselves&#046; We need to be able to<br>build better, more robust and more secure systems&#046; Even more<br>importantly, however, we should strive to achieve these qualities in all<br>software systems, not just the ones that need special protection&#046; This<br>workshop will focus on techniques, experiences and lessons learned for<br>building secure and dependable software&#046;<br></pre>
