Upcoming Meetings

April OWASP Meeting – Gunnar Peterson
OWASP Top Ten Web Services

Monday, April 27, 2009, 6:00 p.m.

What do Web apps, Web 2.0, Cloud Computing, SOA, and Rest all have in common? They all use Web services for functionality, data access and integration. Unfortunately, by default Web services also lack a security model. The OWASP Top Ten Web Services goes into the technical details of the vulnerabilities, remediations, and examples of common

Web services security issues like authentication and authorization flaws, how sensitive data is disclosed, and why security standards like WS-Security and SAML can be your best friend or your worst nightmare.
