Local News

2009 is coming to a close and we're looking to regroup after taking November off due to the Washington DC OWASP AppSec event.

Stay tuned for meeting announcements for December as we plan to end with a workshop event to get our hands dirty.

I also wanted to invite anyone who wants to partake in the Atlanta Chapter officially, to please contact me (tonyuv [at] owasp.org) in order that we can get your time and efforts for 2010. This year has had some good revival signs, but we have a long way to go and need some key members who are committed to making the most of their city chapter. More info on this during our next meeting.

Last, put your money where your time is. Support your local chapter with a formal membership to a great non-profit organization aimed to elevate web application security. Please note that other chapters have the luxury to charge their members for attending some of their meetings. We hope that you find historical and future meetings to be of value and show support via a member based contribution. To contribute to OWASP-Atlanta, go here: <paypal>Atlanta Georgia</paypal>

WHAT:: OWASP Top 10

WHERE:: nuBridges, U.S. HEADQUARTERS, 1000 Abernathy Road, Suite 250, Atlanta, GA 30328  : Web : Google-Maps

WHO:: Tony UcedaVelez, Chapter Lead, Owasp-Atlanta

ABSTRACT:: The OWASP Top Ten provides a powerful awareness document for web application security. The OWASP Top Ten represents a broad consensus about what the most critical web application security flaws are. Project members include a variety of security experts from around the world who have shared their expertise to produce this list. There are currently versions in English, French, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. A Spanish version is in the works. We urge all companies to adopt this awareness document within their organization and start the process of ensuring that their web applications do not contain these flaws. Adopting the OWASP Top Ten is perhaps the most effective first step towards changing the software development culture within your organization into one that produces secure code.

In this meeting, we will discuss the new release of OWASP Top Ten (2010). More details about OWASP Top Ten can be found here: http://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Top_Ten_Project
