2011 Rochester Student Outreach Initiative

The Rochester Chapter of OWASP is committed to reaching out to all individuals and organizations directly or indirectly involved in the Web Application Security Ecosystem. Especially strategic to our outreach are college students in computer science and other scientific disciplines as they are the future developers, software architects, and managers who will be developing the next generation of Internet infrastructures and applications. The purpose of the Student Outreach Initiative is twofold: on one side we want to have students involved in the OWASP community, on the other side we want to be in touch with what our local colleges are doing in our field so we can foster a productive and mutually beneficial relationship.

The Student Outreach Initiative is designed to allow students to present on a topic of their choice, as long as it's relevant to Web Application Security, at a local OWASP meeting in front of the local webappsec community and to compete for the best presentation award. Students who are interested in competing may submit an abstract of their proposed presentation. The Rochester OWASP Board will select the best abstracts and their authors will be invited to present at a special OWASP meeting showcases student work. Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes. At the end of the meeting, the attendees will vote for the best presentation.

Prizes:
    First Prize: Honorary OWASP membership (a $50 value) plus a $100 VISA gift card
    Second Prize: $50 VISA gift card
    Third Prize: $25 VISA gift card

Abstracts must be submitted by email to [email protected] by February 18th.
Final slides must be submitted by March 4th.
The finalists will be invited to present on March 21st.

Please submit any questions you may have regarding this initiative to [email protected]

Abstract:
State of OWASP and the State of Web Application Security
A quick update on OWASP, and what is happening? And of course plans for the 2011 OWASP Global Summit. We’ll do a quick overview of OWASP AppSec DC 2010 conference, and then talk about the State of Application Security which will include information from the conference. I’ll do an overview of current state and trends as well as tools and techniques that are in use, and discuss their cost effectiveness. I’d like to spend some time with some interactive discussion on some meaty questions like:

Where are we and where should we be headed? Are we making progress? In what areas are we as an application security industry doing better, and where is improvement needed. How has the risks changed? Are we getting ahead of or keeping up with the threats? Are there major changes needed or helpful to “fix” the application security profession?
