“Software Protection—Making Software Self-Protecting” Discusses Methods for Protecting Intellectual Property
VIENNA, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cloakware Inc., the security solutions provider that makes security inseparable from software, today announced that Mark Hearn, senior product manager for Cloakware Security Solutions, has been selected to present at the 4th Software Security Summit. Hearn, a security industry veteran, will present an overview of the current state of practice and practical research in data and key hiding, software tamper-resistance and software self-protection.
Systems today typically depend on a combination of trusted people, processes, platforms and products to provide an environment in which programs can function safely. Organizations need to protect the logic of programs and the data they are processing on systems that are “out in the wild.” Often times, security policies reside on systems where the attackers have complete physical access and may have the ability to rewrite or replace portions of the underlying operating system. In his presentation, Hearn will answer questions about how to protect intellectual property, both in source code and in data, and will offer participants the know-how for protecting their own data.
Who: Mark Hearn, senior product manager for Cloakware Security Solutions

When: Monday, April 16, 2007; 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PT

“As hackers and their attacks grow more sophisticated, organizations increasingly need to focus more attention on securing their intellectual property, both from the outside but also from within,” said Hearn. “The issue of protecting one’s data becomes even more difficult when the hacker has complete physical access to the system. It is crucial to enact security measures that start at the source code level in order to protect and maintain the integrity of the data.”
Hearn has over twelve years of technical and business experience, including four years as a software developer. He is proficient in all aspects of software delivery to market, particularly within the realms of software security products and network management applications. In his career, Hearn has spoken at several security industry events.
