Organizations today are faced with a host of regulatory compliance requirements, such as PCI, SOX and NERC. It has become increasingly important for organizations to ensure payment account data security through compliance with the PCI DSS. Don and Santosh will attempt to demystify some of the myths and questions that commonly trouble PCI level 3 and 4 merchants. They will also discuss why the PCI DSS is necessary and provide an auditor’s perspective on what is required to achieve compliance through completing a “Self Assessment Questionnaire”.

The meeting started with an introduction of the OWASP group and its objectives: goals and projects that OWASP is leading.
 
There are various open source projects that the OWASP team has been a part of, namely, the OWASP top ten list of vulnerabilities; CLASP ( a guideline for companies to address security issues in their products ); GOAT ( practice your hacking skills on their machines); Web Scarab; plus other scanning/hacking tools.
 
 
We then introduced the OWASP Vancouver chapter: lately the chapter has been a little be dormant and all the presents agreed to provide help to revamp the chapter.
 
The objective of the OWASP Vancouver chapter is to promote web application security and security awareness in the community.
 
 
In the fall off 2007 the Vancouver chapter reached into the other Vancouver security and technical groups. Some groups as for example SIG Security and Vantug have been interested to hear more about OWASP and the asked for presentations. More presentation can be done to these groups in the next year. We all agree that reaching into Vancouver groups is an important goal for the OWASP Vancouver chapter.
 
 
Another goal of the group is to facilitate some technical discussion and presentation on the security field. Some of the topics of interest are the following:
 
 
* Honeypot;
 
* Vulnerabilities;
 
* Secure Development LifeCycle;
 
* Hands on seminar using various security/pen tools;
 
* Wireless security;
 
* Http and basic encryption;
 
* Forensic;
 
* Law and enforcement in security;
 
* International security groups like CISSP or SANS.
 
 
We've also discussed the possibility to promote OWASP in the community and other groups and to capturing new membership through social sites such as Tazzu.com and meetup.com.
 
 
The next meeting is planned for the end of January
