Tutorial Days - May 19-20
OWASP arranged for several Application Security tutorials on May 19th-20th, the days prior to the conference.
| T1. Building and Testing Secure Web Applications |
|---|
| Most developers, IT professionals, and auditors learn what they know about application security on the job, usually by making mistakes. Application security is just not 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 IT security efforts. This powerful two day course focuses on the most common web application security problems, including the OWASP Top Ten. The course will introduce and demonstrate hacking techniques, illustrating how application vulnerabilities can be exploited so students really understand how to avoid introducing such vulnerabilities into their code.
Trainer: Dave Wichers - Read more here! |
| T2. Leading the Development of Secure Applications |
| In this one-day management session you’ll get the answers to the ten key questions that most CIOs and development managers face when trying to improve security in the development process. The course provides proven techniques and valuable lessons learned that can be applied to projects at any phase of their application’s lifecycle.
Trainer: tbd - Read more here! |
| T3. Building Secure Rich Internet Applications |
| Rich Internet applications using technologies like Ajax, Flash, ActiveX, and Java Applets require special attention to secure. This one day training addresses the special issues that arise in this type of application development.
Trainer: tbd - Read more here! |
| T4. Web Services and XML Security |
| The movement towards Web Services and Service Oriented architecture (SOA) paradigms requires new security paradigms to deal with new risks posed by these architectures. This session takes a pragmatic approach towards identifying Web Services security risks and selecting and applying countermeasures to the application, code, web servers, databases, application, and identity servers and related software. Many enterprises are currently developing new Web Services and/or adding and acquiring Web Services functionality into existing applications -- now is the time to build security into the system!
Trainer: Gunnar Peterson - Read more here! |
| T5. Open Source ModSecurity Training |
| ModSecurity is currently the most widely deployed web application firewall (WAF) product. This two-day class is for those people who want to learn how to build, deploy, and use ModSecurity in the most effective manner. The course will cover the open source ModSecurity Console, which helps manage alerts on suspicious web activity targeting your web servers. The course also provides an in-depth look at the extremely powerful ModSecurity Rules Language.

More information about the tutorials are online.
Venue: Monasterium PoortAckere, Oude Houtlei 56, 9000 Gent http://www.monasterium.be/
Evening Social Event - May 21
At every conference we have an evening social event the first night. This allows participants to have some unstructured time to mingle with the other attendees. They are always fun and typically attract about half the conference attendees. This year's event will be held at the Monasterium.
Accommodations
OWASP arranged for a room block of 20 Executive Deluxe rooms at the NH Gent Belfort at a rate of €199 per night.
NOTE: The above room block is being held through April 11!! After that date, there is no guarantee that rooms at this rate will be available at the NH Gent Belfort.
It is difficult getting rooms at reduced prices, as there is a medical congress around the same time in Ghent. Unfortunately, we were not able to make group rate arrangements at other hotels. However, the following is a list of nearby accommodations that may have availability at lower prices:
- Hotel Monasterium PoortAckere
- Hotel Ibis Gent Centrum Kathedraal
- Hotel Vandervalken Nazareth - on Highway 5 minutes from Ghent
- A list of bed and breakfasts in Ghent
- youth hostels in Ghent
