===2014 Boston Application Security Conference (BASC): October 18===
 +
This free conference will take place on Saturday, October 18th at the Microsoft Cambridge Sales Office, One Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142. '''Note the new location, down the street from previous years' conferences.'''
 +
 +
The BASC will be a free, one day, informal conference, aimed at increasing awareness and knowledge of application security in the greater Boston area. While many of the presentations will cover state-of-the-art application security concepts, the BASC is intended to appeal to a wide-array of attendees. Application security professionals, professional software developers, software quality engineers, computer science students, and security software vendors should be able to come to the BASC, learn, and hopefully enjoy themselves at the same time.

===Lonestar Application Security Conference (LASCON): October 21-24===
 +
The Lonestar Application Security Conference (LASCON) is an OWASP conference held annually in Austin, TX.  It started in 2010 when James Wickett (@wickett) and Josh Sokol (@joshsokol) along with the OWASP Austin crew put together an amazing 1-day conference with a speaker lineup of some of the who’s-who of the infosec and appsec world.
 +
 +
LASCON 2014, run by David Hughes(@Dav1dHugh3s) and the OWASP Austin crew, will be run in the same tradition as previous LASCON conferences featuring the best speakers, a close-knit community atmosphere and even our signature happy hour replete with a mechanical bull. Year over year, LASCON has been a gathering of thought leaders, web developers, security engineers, mobile developers and information security professionals. LASCON 2014 will have 2 days of pre-conference training and 2 full days of conference across 4 rooms.

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a worldwide free and open community focused on improving the security of application software. There are over 70 OWASP Local Chapters world-wide that are free and open to anyone to attend. OWASP tools and documents can be used to detect and to guard against security-related design and implementation flaws, as well as to add security-related activities into your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).

For additional detail about OWASP, leadership, and corporate details, please refer to the About OWASP page.

Featured projects include:

  • OWASP WebGoat (WebGoat is a deliberately insecure J2EE web application maintained by OWASP designed to teach web application security lessons. In each lesson, users must demonstrate their understanding of a security issue by exploiting a real vulnerability in the WebGoat application http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_WebGoat_Project
