Introduction

We are proud to announce the seventh OWASP New Zealand Day conference, to be held at the University of Auckland on Thursday February 4th, 2016. OWASP New Zealand Day is a one-day conference dedicated to application security, with an emphasis on secure architecture and development techniques to help Kiwi developers build more secure applications.

Who is it for?

• Web Developers: The morning sessions will introduce you to application security. Afternoon sessions will dive deeper into technical topics, and build on the morning sessions.
• Management: After an introduction to web application security, one of the afternoon streams will focus on informational and defensive topics.
• Security Professionals and Enthusiasts: Technical sessions later in the day will showcase new and interesting attack and defence topics.
