Developer Days — Archive

The purpose of the event is for the community to discuss, in technical detail, the ongoing development of CPE and to discuss relevant issues and derive solutions that benefit all concerned parties.

Information about upcoming and/or past conferences is included below:

IT Security Automation Conference 2012

The 8th Annual IT Security Automation Conference was hosted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in conjunction with the Department of Homeland Security, National Security Agency, and Defense Information Systems Agency, on October 3-5, 2012. "Security automation leverages [the CVE®, CCE™, CPE™, OVAL®, OCIL™, XCCDF, ARF, CCSS, and CVSS community] standards and specifications to reduce the complexity and time necessary to manage vulnerabilities, measure security, and ensure compliance, freeing resources to focus on other areas of the IT infrastructure."

Security Automation Developer Days 2012

MITRE Corporation hosted the fourth Security Automation Developer Days conference on July 9-13, 2012, at MITRE in Bedford, Massachusetts, USA. This five-day conference is technical in nature and focuses on the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP).

The purpose of the event is for the community to discuss SCAP — and the existing standards upon which it is based including Common Platform Enumeration (CPE™), Common Configuration Enumeration (CCE™), Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL®), Extensible Configuration Checklist Description Format (XCCDF), and Open Checklist Interactive Language (OCIL) — in technical detail and to derive solutions that benefit all concerned parties. All current and emerging SCAP standards are addressed at this workshop. MITRE first hosted Developer Days in 2005 and has been running them annually ever since. The model for these technical exchanges has since been adopted as the format used by the Security Automation community.

Materials from the event include the following:
