Secure software and cybersecurity advances for HISC keynotes
Two of the UK’s leading experts in large-scale high-integrity software systems will deliver the keynote addresses at the High Integrity Software Conference (HISC).
A keynote at HISC from Rob Ashmore on Global Combat Air Programme Software: Challenges and Opportunities will discuss how much the defence industry is now critically dependent on software.
Ashmore is the UK Ministry of Defence’s “Chief Technologist – Software” for the Future Combat Air System (FCAS), a key component of which is the Global Combat Air Programme (GCAP). He is also a Dstl Fellow for “Critical Software” at the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), part of the UK Ministry of Defence.
John Goodacre, Professor of Computer Architecture at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester in the UK is looking at Redesigning Cybersecurity for a Resilient Future’ and discusses the concepts of cyber security, secure by default, and secure by design. His talk will clarify these terms and review government approaches, and the language changes shaping cybersecurity’s future.
Goodacre previously spent 17 years with ARM as the Director of Technology and Systems, where he defined and introduced the first multicore processors and other widely deployed technologies. He is also appointed by the UK government’s Research & Innovation agency as the Director of Digital Security by Design.
“This year, we are delighted to have two highly anticipated keynote speakers with us in the UK: the Ministry of Defence’s ‘Future Combat Air System (FCAS) Chief Technologist – Software’ Rob Ashmore and the UKRI Challenge Director for Digital Security by Design and University of Manchester Professor, John Goodacre,” said Paul Butcher, UK Programme Manager at AdaCore.
