FTC Releases Agenda for Seattle 'Start With Security' Workshop in February

FTC Commissioner Julie Brill will open the Feb. 9 "Start with Security" event in Seattle, with speakers from Belkin, DocuSign, Facebook, Intel, Microsoft and others, the commission said Thursday. The daylong event will have panels on how startups can build a culture of security within their organizations, integrate security testing and review in their development processes, make a business case for incorporating security, and address security in IoT products and services, said the agenda. It's part of FTC's ongoing initiative to help companies, especially startups and early stage businesses, build security into their products, services and culture. The commission held similar workshops in Austin (see 1511050042) and San Francisco (see 1509090045) last year.
