OWASP Announces International Application Security Conference for 2009
Speaker Agenda Released and Registration Open for 2009's Largest Web
Application Security Event
Washington DC August 20th, 2009 -- Following in the footsteps of the Open
Web Application Security Project's (OWASP, http://www.owasp.org ) immensely
successful and popular conferences earlier this year in Australia, Poland,
Ireland, and Brazil, Washington DC will be hosting the 2009 OWASP
Application Security Conference (AppSec DC, http://www.appsecdc.org ), North
America's premier web application security conference, at the Walter E.
Washington Convention Center on November 10-13th, 2009.
AppSec DC 2009 will provide a venue for hundreds of IT professionals
interested in securing web technologies to learn, interact, network, and
attend presentations and training given by some of the world's top
practitioners of web application security, suitable for everyone from
federal decision makers and management to application security engineers and
developers. Executives from Fortune 500 firms along with technical thought
leaders such as security architects and lead
developers will be traveling to hear the cutting-edge ideas presented by
Information Security's top talent. OWASP events attract a worldwide audience
interested in "what's next" in the world of application security. The
conference is expected to draw 600-700 technologists from Government,
Financial Services, Media, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare, Technology, and many
other verticals.
"AppSec DC is a unique opportunity for federal decision makers and key
technologists to become familiar with OWASP and the resources it has to
offer," said Doug Wilson, co-chair of the Washington DC OWASP Chapter and
organizer of AppSecDC. "The federal government has already
embraced the OWASP Top Ten and other OWASP guidelines. OWASP's mission and
community align closely with the goals set forth by the US Chief Information
Officer: transparency, engagement of staff, reduction of cost, and
innovation in technology. OWASP can enable the government to attain these
goals in the pursuit of securing critical technologies that depend on the
web."
Highlights for AppSec DC 2009 include a keynote from Joe Jarzombek, Director
for Software Assurance in the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS)
National Cyber Security Division (NCSD), a panel discussion of US Federal
Government Chief Information Security Officers on their experiences with
application security, a panel of industry experts on implementing security
in development cycles, and a wide variety of talks by leading personalities
in the field of web
application security, including Robert "RSnake" Hansen, Robert Auger, Chris
Wysopal, and others.
"For AppSec DC 2009, We're really trying to reach out to developers, testers
and quality assurance staff because they are pivotal to solving the root
causes of application security problems," said Mark Bristow, an organizer of
AppSec DC and a founding member of the OWASP Global Conferences Committee.
"To this end, we have a dedicated secure development track designed
specifically for these folks to give them the skills they need to build
secure software effectively."
AppSec DC 2009 will feature interactive, hands-on training courses led by
some of the leaders in application security (Security Compass, Aspect
Security, WhiteHat Security, Inguardians and others) on the 10th and 11th of
November followed by four distinct speaking tracks on the 12th and 13th.
Opportunities to interact with AppSec sponsors and vendors will also be
available, as well as an OWASP-sponsored Capture the Flag competition and
other events.
