Developer Days

MITRE regularly hosts and/or participates in "Developer Days Conferences" designed to bring the community together to discuss information security data standards and how they are used in technical detail and to derive solutions that benefit all concerned parties. Information on upcoming and recent events are noted below.

Security Automation Developer Days Winter 2010

The Security Automation Developer Days Winter 2010 conference is scheduled to be held February 22-24, 2010 at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland, USA.

This technical conference is a free three-day event that will be hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to further the collaborative efforts of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), NIST, and the MITRE Corporation with regard to security automation. This conference will consist of a series of workshops that focus on engaging the security automation community in the development of key security automation related initiatives including Common Platform Enumeration (CPE™), Extensible Configuration Checklist Description Format (XCCDF), Remediation, and Digital Trust.

Security Automation Developer Days 2009

MITRE hosted the first-ever Security Automation Developer Days conference on June 8-12, 2009, at MITRE in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. The five-day conference was technical in nature and focused on the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP).

The purpose of the event was for the community to discuss SCAP in technical detail and to derive solutions that benefit all concerned parties. Discussion topics included NIST SP 800-126, SCAP content management, lifecycle, validation, and remediation; OVAL®, XCCDF, emerging specifications, and perceived gaps in standards coverage; ontology; and use cases.
