Welcome to the OWASP Santa Barbara Chapter!
We are on Meetup. Please join our community here
OWASP Santa Barbara
Welcome to the Santa Barbara chapter homepage. We're excited to have a dedicated core group of application security professionals and enthusiasts, and we'd love to have you join us. All meetings are free, oriented towards knowledge sharing and practical learning, and of course, having lots of fun!
The first step to becoming involved is to join our mailing list (low-volume). It's important to join because meetings are planned and discussed on the list, and it's an easy way to stay informed. In addition to the mailing list, we post all of our meetings on our Meetup Group.
The current leader is Walter Martín Villalba, and we're always looking for talented and motivated people to help grow our group.
