SERENITY Day a first successful step to be pursued

by SC

The SERENITY Day held in Brussels on June 17th has been well attended. A first draft of a Security Engineering Manifesto is underway.

In terms of audience, the event has received 120 registrations, of which 95 participants attended the SERINITY Day, exceeding our best expectations.  The speech proposals exceeded also what we were able to accommodate in the agenda. After an introductory note by Jacques bus, Head of Trust and Security Unit, European Commission (picture below), 15 presentations have been made during the event, mixing sharp insights on the Serenity Project’s results and research/industry perspectives on IT security engineering. The friendly working atmosphere of this event contributed to provide the participants a positive conference experience.

Going forward: building the Security Engineering Manifesto

Serenity Day’s success marks the first step in the direction of our objective: establishing and building a Security Engineering Community.

In this regard, a first working group of 4 Serenity members led by Antonio Maña has started to prepare a first draft of a Security Engineering Manifesto, according to the feedbacks received during the Serenity Day. This document will be circulated for open discussion to the Serenity Day participants by the end of June 2009.

This work is also open to the Security Engineers and IT experts willing to take part in the discussion: they will have to register on this Website.

SERENITY Day D-2 : broad audience expected

by SC

Two days  prior Serenity Day, the initiative has been receiving very positive feedbacks. Near 25 first class speakers, authors and moderators will present quality contributions. Including registered participants, as of today, Serenity Day will gather almost 90 organisations from 22 European countries (plus Indonesia): Universities accounts for 45% of this total; Public and institutional research labs 17%; Private industrial and corporate research 23%; Experts, consultants, standard bodies, fora, institutions: 15%.

This audience, the contributions and active involvement of the speakers show a real move and a new vision are at stake. Serenity Day’s success will mark a first successful step in the direction of its objective: establishing and building a security engineering community.
The first challenge will be to reach a consensus with the whole participating audience about the formulation and objectives of the Security Engineering Manifesto. We count on the participants’ willingness to achieve this ambition.
