Transforming Your Operational Resilience Management Capabilities: CERT's Resilience Management Model
(August 2010)
Rich Caralli, the architect of the model, will describe how an organization can use the model to transform its operational resilience management program by understanding its capability level, setting forward-looking resiliency goals and targets, and developing plans to close identified gaps. He will provide the most up-to-date information on the model and related elements (such as appraisals, training, and certification) as well as insight into how the model is being used. (1hr:18mins)

Securing Global Software Supply Chains
(June 2010)
This webinar will discuss an ongoing SEI effort to develop an approach for assessing software supply chains and identifying the associated software assurance risks. (48 mins)

Engineering Improvement in Software Assurance: A Landscape Framework
(May 2010)
The SEI is developing a way to model key aspects of assurance to accelerate the adoption of assurance solutions within operational settings for the Department of Defense and other government organizations. SEI researchers have developed an Assurance Modeling Framework to build a profile for an assurance capability area such as vulnerability management within an assurance quality such as security. (1hr)

The Survivability Analysis Framework (SAF)
(October 2009)
This framework was developed to address the following research questions: * How can mission survivability be maintained as interoperability of systems increases? * How can operational impacts (such as information security) be tied to technology changes in operational mission execution? (56 mins)

How to Effectively Evaluate Software Architecture and Identify Risks
(September 2009)
In this webinar, Felix Bachmann discusses how using the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) - practical and proven architecture-centric evaluation techniques - can identify risks early in the life cycle. The SEI ATAM is used widely in many different settings. The ATAM is a tested process that has been used in many evaluations over the past ten or more years. If executed as defined, good results can almost be guaranteed. (1 hr:12 mins)

Secure Coding
(August 2009)
Led by Robert Seacord, the Secure Coding Initiative (SCI) within CERT works with software developers and software development organizations to eliminate vulnerabilities resulting from coding errors before software becomes operational. SCI is developing secure coding standards for commonly used programming languages such as C, C++, and Java. These standards can be used to improve and assess the security and overall quality of software through training, automated analysis, code review, and other processes. (59 mins)

A Practical Approach for Managing Risk
(June 2009)
Most programs would benefit by improving, or in some cases replacing, their current risk management practices. The SEI Mission Success in Complex Environments (MSCE) project team develops practical and innovative methods and tools for measuring, assessing, and managing program risks. (1hr:10 mins)

SQUARE Up Your Security Requirements Engineering with SQUARE
(May 2009)
Through the SQUARE project, CERT researchers have developed an end-to-end process for security requirements engineering to help organizations build security into the early stages of the production life cycle. (1 hr: 21 mins)
