June 7th-8th (Training)

Schedule

T1. Threat Modeling and Architecture Review - 2-Days (June 7-8) - 990 Euro
Threat Modeling and Architecture Review are the cornerstones of a preventative approach to Application Security. By combining these topics into single comprehensive course attendees can get a complete understanding of how to understand the threat an application faces and how the application will handle those potential threats. This enables the risk to be accurately assessed and appropriate changes or mitigating controls recommended.

T2. Assessing and Exploiting Web Applications with Samurai - WTF - 2-Days (June 7-8) - 990 Euros

Come take the official Samurai-WTF training course given by one of the founders and lead developers of the project! You will learn how to use the latest Samurai-WTF open source tools and the be shown the latest techniques to perform web application assessments. After a quick overview of pen testing methodology, the instructor will lead you through the penetration and exploitation of three different web applications, and the browsers connecting to them. Different sets of open source tools will be used on each web application, allow you to learn first hand the pros and cons of each tool. After you have gained experience with the Samurai-WTF tools, you will be challenged with a fourth web application that contains keys you must find and collect. This final challenge will give you time to practice your new skills at your own pace and experiment with your favorite new tools. This experience will help you gain the confidence necessary to perform web application assessments and expose you to the wealth of freely available open source tools.

T3. Tactical Defense with ModSecurity - 2-Days - 990 Euros
While application flaws should ideally be fixed in the source code, this is often not a feasible task for various reasons. Web application firewalls are often deployed as an additional layer of security that can monitor, detect and prevent attacks before they reach the web application. ModSecurity, an extremely popular open source web application firewall, is often used to help protect web applications against known and unknown vulnerabilities alike.

This two-day boot-camp training is designed for people who want to quickly learn how to configure and deploy ModSecurity in the most effective manner possible. The course will cover topics such as the powerful ModSecurity rules language, extending functionality via the embedded Lua engine and managing suspicious events via AuditConsole. Documented hands-on labs help students understand the inner workings of ModSecurity and how to deploy ModSecurity securely. By leveraging the flexibility within ModSecurity, attendees will be able to write effective rules to mitigate complex web vulnerabilities

T4. Secure Application Development: Writing secure code (and testing it) 1-Day - June 7th- 495 Euros
Writing Secure code is the most effective method to securing your web applications. Writing secure code takes skill and know-how but results in a more stable and robust application and assists in protecting an organisations brand.

Application security is not commonly a part of many computer science curricula today and most organizations have not focused on instituting a culture that includes application security as a core part of their software development training efforts. This intensive one-day course focuses on the most common web application security problems, including aspects of both the OWASP Top Ten (2010) and the MITRE Top 25. The course will introduce and demonstrate application assessment techniques, illustrating how application vulnerabilities can be exploited so students really understand how to avoid introducing such vulnerabilities in their code

Instructor: Eoin Keary, OWASP

T5. Designing, Building and Testing Secure Application on Mobile Devices 1-Day - June 8th- 495 Euros
This course provides an introduction to security for mobile and smartphone applications. It walks through a basic threat model for a smartphone application. This threat model is then used as a framework for making good decisions about designing and building applications as well as for testing the security of existing applications. Examples are provided for both iOS (iPhone and iPad) and Android platforms and sample code is provided to demonstrate mobile security assessment techniques. Particular emphasis will be on the unique security challenges that developing software for mobile devices represent, comparing mobile software security concepts to those in the web application world

Security for Managers and Executives

10:15-11:00 AM, Conference Day 2, 10 June 2011
Location: Arts Building room 3106


The purpose for this session is to help organizations understand why application security is important and how OWASP can help in making their applications more secure. It will give them an opportunity to learn what documentation, training, architecture, tools and infrastructure is available. The best part is all these materials are free. OWSAP provides the solution for their application security needs. We are also looking to improve collaboration by helping get more organization participating in OWASP projects. This will help us ensure that we account for the various needs of industry and develop well vetted best practices.

CISO Survey

12:05-12:50 PM, Conference Day 2, 10 June 2011
Location: Arts Building room 3106

The objective of this session is to solicit feedback from industry leaders to help inform the content of the upcoming OWASP CISO survey. Specifically, we are interested in what they would like to see in a survey of their peers and leaders and how they think such a survey should be executed. The session will provide participants an opportunity to meet with peers in a vendor-free environment and discuss their problems with and solutions to information security. It will also allow them to shape the focus of the upcoming survey to maximize the return value to them.

Global Industry Roundtable

15:00-15:45 PM, Conference Day 2, 10 June 2011
Location: Arts Building room 3106

This roundtable session will involve a series of questions aimed at driving discussion to determine: How can the OWASP Global Industry Committee become more relevant and work to achieve a better working relationship with industry verticals? What would types of OWASP resources (if none are currently available) would your company find value in? If you are not currently an OWASP member or corporate supporter, why not?

The outcomes of this session, as well as similar sessions that we hope to host at the other OWASP global appsec conferences this year, will be used determine whether a new membership model (esp. for corporate supporters) is needed within OWASP as well as where committee resources should be focused in the upcoming year(s).


Facilitated by: Sarah Baso, Operations Manager for the OWASP Global Industry Committee

SoccerCon EU

We are organizing a Futbol (Soccer) friendly in Ireland for AppSec EU. For those that partook in the friendly in Portugal, the event was a big success despite the fact we played at 8am, inebriated, with a semi-deflated ball, on a slick concrete court - all of such conditions which allow me to continue my personal denial for the loss we experienced against the Portuguese/ Brazilian Chapter leads. All that aside, I would like to know if there are any members interest to relive this in much better fashion while in Dublin.

Date: 10th June at 7:00PM - Trinity College Sports Centre
