OUNCE LABS CHIEF SCIENTIST TO PRESENT AT THE PALMER GROUP'S BEST PRACTICES FOR TECHNOLOGY SYMPOSIUM

Ryan Berg Asks Executives "Are You Asking The Right Security Questions?"

Waltham, MA, May 9, 2007 – Ounce Labs, the industry leader in software security assurance, announced today that its Chief Scientist, Ryan Berg, will speak on the topic of “Asking the Right Questions to Get the Right Answers:  The Importance of Source Code Analysis” at the Best Practices for Technology Symposium on May 17, 2007 in Highland Beach, FL. Sponsored by the Palmer Group, the Symposium features security, risk, compliance and technology executives from more than 60 of the largest corporations and consulting firms in the US and Canada.

Berg has more than 10 years experience in software development and security, and he leads the research and advanced technology of Ounce Labs’ suite of products.  His pending patents include multi-language security assessment engine and intermediary security assessment language, communication protocols, and security management systems.

“From a business perspective, asking the right security questions is critical for setting reasonable security expectations,” said Berg. “In an environment of growing regulatory and governance pressures, security needs to be addressed with the same scrutiny as any other business investment. This effort demands consistency, accountability, and real security metrics. I look forward to discussing these topics with the industry leaders represented at the Palmer Group Symposium.”

For nearly 23 consecutive years, the Symposium has convened to discuss the business impact of current and emerging technologies upon the enterprise and the practice for review, governance, monitoring and support.

“Ryan's presentation fits in perfectly with the concerns of our executive-level attendees," remarked Fred Palmer, Director of the Palmer Group. "His insights into viewing application security testing as a business risk solution are critical in this period of increased scrutiny and regulatory compliance. We look forward to hosting Ryan and Ounce Labs at the conference.”
