OWASP New Zealand Day 2010
Introduction

Following the success of the OWASP New Zealand 2009 security conference which attracted more than 150 attendees, we decided to organise the OWASP New Zealand Day 2010.

IT professionals, including security professionals, developers, managers and students are invited to partecipate to this conference.
