OWASP New Zealand Day 2015
26th and 27th Feburary 2015 - Auckland
Introduction
We are proud to announce the sixth OWASP New Zealand Day conference, to be held at the University of Auckland on Friday February 27th, 2015. OWASP New Zealand Day is a one-day conference dedicated to application security, with an emphasis on secure architecture and development techniques to help Kiwi developers build more secure applications.
Similar to last year:
- We will be offering training on the day before the conference (Thursday, 26th of February).
- After lunch on the conference day, we will split to two tracks - one focused on technical topics, the other on policy, compliance and risk management.
The sixth OWASP New Zealand Day will be happening thanks to the support provided by the University of Auckland, which will kindly offer a slightly different location from the last five years. Entry to the event will, as in the past, be free.
For any comments, feedback or observations, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Training Abstract - Bootstrapping Agile Security
Agile development is often seen as a delicate balance of ritual and roles allowing for rapid development, continuous deployment and the expansion of the post-it note industry. Security is often seen as a lumbering giant of process, governance and technology allowing for increased control, reduced risk and the expansion of the technology vendor industry.
What if you could merge the two?
The world of security is changing to meet the needs of agile software development. Organisations around the world are coming up with tools, techniques and processes to make security a continuous presence to support developers. This hands on, fast-paced course will not only give students a solid grounding in how to bring security into agile software development life-cycles, but also give a range of tools, techniques and practical skills to make it happen.
