I had a chance to meet up with Dr. Johannes Ullrich (SANS) at a recent event he spoke at and he informed me that SANS is providing a free training session in ATL in August, featuring Dr. Eric Cole – lead security instructor for SANS. Spaces are limited but the event is sure to be informative and a great opportunity to socialize OWASP with other security groups in the Atlanta area. Spaces are limited so be sure to lock in a seat at this event in August. If you sign up, please indicate that you will be representing OWASP ATL.

Spaces are limited but the event is sure to be informative and a great opportunity to socialize OWASP with other security groups in the Atlanta area. Spaces are limited so be sure to lock in a seat at this event in August. If you sign up, please indicate that you will be representing OWASP ATL.

Call for Case Studies
As many of you know, we are steering OWASP-Atlanta to crank out some meaningful case studies with metrics. As part of the planning that goes into this, we have spoken to a few organizations that have expressed interest in gaining our expertise on an array of security topics that revolve around web application security. On our part, we need to formalize our A-Team in order to see who would be available for which types of case-study genres. If you are interested in partaking on this team, please let me know. You can reach me at tonyuv [at] versprite [dot] com. --VerSprite 19:24, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
