| + | This training will help you will gain skills on how to assess applications from a hacker's point of view, understand application security vulnerabilities and learn how to close these security holes in your Java or .Net applications so they are never exploited by a hacker. This intensive one day course focuses on the most common web application security problems, including aspects of both the OWASP Top Ten (2010) and the MITRE Top 25. | ||
| + | ?Hands on | ||
| + | The students will participate in a number of hands-on security testing exercises where they attack a live web application (i.e., WebGoat) that has been seeded with common web application vulnerabilities and then use proxy tools (i.e., Webscarab) to complete the exercises. | ||

| + | '''About the instructor''': | ||
| + | Fabio is currently working as an Information Security Specialist at AIB Bank (Dublin, Ireland). His tasks include performing risk analysis, assessing the security of web applications developed internally or purchased from third parties, define policies and standards on secure coding, as well as providing training on web application security to developers, auditors, executives and security professionals. Prior to joining AIB, he worked as a Security Engineer at the European headquarters of Symantec Security Response analyzing malicious code, blended threats, security risks and vulnerabilities in various applications. Before moving to Ireland, he worked in the development of different training programs and activities with emphasis on secure software development in his native Argentina. As a member of the OWASP organization, Fabio is part of Global Education Committee whose mission is to provide training and educational services to businesses, governments and educational institutions on application security; he coordinates international conferences around this topic, and since early 2010 has been appointed chairman of OWASP Chapter in Ireland. Fabio is a graduate in Computer Engineering from the Universidad Católica Argentina and has been granted the CISSP by (ISC) 2 back in 2006. | ||

Chapter Leader Workshop
What is the Chapter Leader Workshop?
On Wednesday, October 5,2011 at 13:30h-16:30h the Global Chapter Committee is organizing a chapter leader workshop for all the chapter leaders that attend the conference. Please note that this Workshop will take place on the day before the Conference starts.
Items that will be discussed are:
- How to improve the current Chapter Leader Handbook?
- How to start and support new chapters within Latin America?
- How to support inactive chapters within Latin America?
- What Governance model is required for OWASP chapters?
- How can the Global Chapters Committee facilitate the Latin American chapters?
- ...
Additionally we hope to make time and space available to do hands-on work revising the Chapter Leader Handbook, details TBA.
Funding to Attend the Workshop
If you need financial assistance to attend the Chapter Leader Workshop at AppSec Latin America, please submit a request to Tin Zaw and Sarah Baso by August 22, 2011.
Funding for your attendance to the workshop should be worked out in the following order.
- Ask your employer to fund your trip to AppSec Latin America conference.
- Utilize your chapter funds.
- Ask the chapter committee for funding assistance.
While we wish we could fund every chapter leader, due to the limited amount of budget allocated for this event, we may not be able to fund 100% to all the requests. After August 22, we will make funding decision in a fair and transparent manner. When you apply for funding, please highlight your past contributions to OWASP and your future plans for the local chapter and OWASP.
RSVP and Details
To RSVP and view more details about the Workshop, go to the AppSecLatam2011 chapters workshop agenda.
