Local News
Presenters and Presentations
We are forever looking for volunteers to present at the chapter meetings, so if you've seen something interesting or you have something to say, please let us know.
Often, when we approach potential presenters, we tend to get the following response – “I don’t think my topic is interesting enough”. We just want to stress that as long as the topic is security related – we’re all ears! We’re just a bunch of nice people wanting to learn/share our knowledge of the security domain. So if you would like to present or know of someone that does, please contact us.
Presentations must be vendor agnostic (no selling of products or services), and please review the Speaker Agreement linked above.
Chapter Meetings
Upcoming Brisbane Chapter Meeting - Thursday 29th November 2018
OWASP Brisbane is ramping up again!
Speaker: Alex Penrose
Topic: Recent security and privacy breaches highlighted the need for an increased focus on security, however this can be at odds with tight deadlines. How does one test for security vulnerabilities, and is there such a thing as too much security? JollyFrogs (aka Alex) will demonstrate a vulnerable fictitious banking application and a popular method that hackers use to find vulnerabilities in code, which you can use during software development. Also, he will demonstrate how to wrap additional protection around a finished software executable with a focus on reducing development effort.
Location: Humanised Group Offices, 19/160 Ann St, Brisbane City QLD 4000
Time: 5:30pm for a 6pm start. Lifts will be locked after 6pm. Please arrive before then!
Date: Thursday 29th November
Close: Session is expected to be completed by 7:30pm to 8:00pm.
RSVP: There are limited seats. Please RSVP at https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/OWASP-Brisbane-Application-Security/events/256463756/
There will be a social/networking gathering afterwards. Everyone is welcome to attend!
