Education Initiative Spotlight: THREADS Call for Papers

Summary: Trail of Bits announced the call for papers for THREADS 2014, a research and development conference held as part of NYU-Poly's Cyber Security Awareness Week (CSAW), with a final submission deadline of October 6th and the event scheduled for November 13-14, 2014 in Brooklyn. The conference's theme is scaling security, focused on making security an automated and integral part of software development and deployment, chaired by Dan Guido with a program committee including Sergey Bratus, Julien Vanegue, John Viega, and Justin Cappos.
Why it matters: The call notes that companies such as Amazon and Netflix deploy code to worldwide production systems several times per minute, and argues that gating deployments by manual security assessments would erase the point of agile development and continuous deployment.
