Sept 17, 2014 Joint OWASP and ISSA Dinner meeting
Topic: Securing the SDLC in the real world Speaker: Jim Manico
The earlier you address security in the engineering of software, the less expensive it will be for your organization. There are many who will tell you that you need to change all of your current processes around building software so it is more secure. Many of those forces are consultants charging high rates to help you deeply modify what you are doing today. This talk will will take the opposite approach. How can you add a few reasonable and mostly lightweight processes to how you build software today to make it more secure? Software development is like driving a boat. You need to look ahead make small changes to steer effectively.
Jim Manico is an author and educator of developer security awareness trainings. He is also a frequent speaker on secure software practices and is a member of the JavaOne "rockstar hall of fame". He has a 17 year history building software as a developer and architect. Jim is also one of the members of the Global Board of Directors for the OWASP foundation where he helps drive the strategic vision for the organization. He manages and participates in several OWASP projects, including the OWASP cheat sheet series and several secure coding projects. Jim is currently working on a book with McGraw-Hill and Oracle-Press on Java Security. For more information, see http://www.linkedin.com/in/jmanico.

Other Events
Attendees will: (each session will be 2.5 hours long)
+ Learn about the evolutions in the mobile threat landscape
+ Participate in a live demonstration of reverse-engineering and tampering attacks (customized workstation included) via ‘hands-on’ exercises that teach attendees how hackers use third party tools to compromise app integrity (e.g. Clutch, IDA, Hex-Rays, otool, classdump, Theos, gds/nm/strings debuggers, etc.) using the workshop sample mobile banking app or even their own app!
+ Explore findings from mobile banking red-team testing projects at several top global banks
The inaugural workshop will uniquely enable attendees to immediately apply their app protection learning’s in their own environments in order to mitigate app binary risk and implement new approaches on mobile app security.
Limited Seating and Prequalification Workshop seats are limited to 10 per day on Sept. 18 at 1pm and Sept. 19th at 9am. To fully engage in the workshop, interested participants need to have advanced app development and computer engineering skills.
