CTO Sessions: Will Keegan, Lynx Software Technologies
Summary
Thankfully, there has been a natural correction and companies are now creating and deploying connected platforms with the right levels of security that make systems faster, more productive and more cost effective. And I am fine with that...we are seeing so many ramifications right now that rushed to connect up systems with an objective of cost saving or new revenue generation and ignored massive issues like security and full life cycle management. COTS processors and software platforms have been shaped by mass consumer markets that have reached inherent complexity levels that are creating untenable situations in the ability to validate the assurance of underlying architectural properties. We spend a massive amount of time reverse engineering COTS components and teaching customers about how things really work “under the hood” to inform design decisions for critical systems. In the early days of my career I had experienced some wonderfully brutal moments of working in the trenches with peers building a bleeding edge security product for the government from scratch (programming with C, asm and VHDL), guided by first principles and whiteboard sessions.
