Welcome to the OWASP Boston Chapter
To find out more about the Boston chapter, please send an email to Jim Weiler or just join the OWASP Boston mailing list.
We meet the FIRST WEDNESDAY of EVERY MONTH, 6:30 to 9 pm.
Everyone is welcome to come to any meeting, there is no signup or joining criteria, just come if it sounds interesting. Feel free to sign up to the OWASP Boston mailing list. This list is very low volume (2 - 3 emails/month); it is used to remind people about each monthly meeting, inform about local application security events and special chapter offers.
Information and an RSS feed for meeting updates about this and other Boston area user groups can be found at Boston User Groups.
Location
The Boston OWASP Chapter meets the FIRST WEDNESDAY of every month, 6:30 pm at the Microsoft offices at the Waltham Weston Corporate Center, 201 Jones Rd., Sixth Floor Waltham, MA.

Follow signs for Rt. 117 (left at the second light). When you get to 117 turn left (West). You will cross back over Rt. 128. Jones Rd. (look for the Waltham Weston Corporate Center sign) is the second left, at a blinking yellow light, on Rt. 117 going west about 0.1 miles from Rt. 128 (I95). The office building is at the bottom of Jones Rd. Best parking is to turn right just before the building and park in the back. Knock on the door to get the security guard to open it.

Next Meeting - Wednesday, December 5
Main Presentation - Scott Matsumoto; Principal Consultant, Cigital
Description – You Say Tomayto and I Say Tomahto – Talking to Developers about Application Security
Talking to developers about Web application security is often like the Gershwin song lyrics – you feel like you’re saying the same thing; just differently. And like the song, the frustration makes you wonder if we should “call the whole thing off”. At Cigital we believe that the way to build secure applications is to change the way applications are developed and this means learning to talk to developers about web-application security in a way that makes sense to them. This talk describes many of the lessons we’ve learned in our interactions with developers about how to describe application security problems and solutions. The question and answer period will be for you to bring up specific problems you’re having with talking to your developers.
Scott Matsumoto is a Principal Consultant at Cigital. Mr. Matsumoto brings over 20 years of commercial software product development experience to the company. His experience encompasses development of component-based middleware, performance management systems, graphical UIs, language compilers, database management systems and operating system kernels. Most recently Mr. Matsumoto was the CTO of Spring Street Networks. Prior to Spring Street Networks, he was co-founder and CTO of Xtremesoft, which provided component-based application monitoring for Microsoft technology-based applications. Mr. Matsumoto has held positions at other major software companies such as systems architect for Lotus Development. Prior to Lotus, Mr. Matsumoto was a principal at Working Set, Inc., the software company that designed and implemented Digital Equipment Corp.'s SQL compiler. He was also one of the original designers of Digital's Relational Database system.
Pizza will be provided by Cigital.
