Software security is gaining increasingly more attention from the computer security community.

Although many attempts have been made to improve software security over the years, traditional software security research has relied on the tools and techniques focusing on testing (e.g, static analysis). We believe that the scope of software security and assurance is much wider than these limited research areas.

Our conference provides a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of software security and assurance and explore various facets of software security and assurance, which have not been thoroughly studied yet. The conference will feature:

• Technical papers,

• Invited talks and panel sessions, and

• Lightning talks and demos.
