Spring Meeting & Membership Drive--Wednesday, May 15th, 2013 from 11 AM-2 PM (plus PIZZA!)

Spring has sprung! And so...

Hello Everyone! Here’s a quick update…

The topic for our next meeting will be: Threat Modeling - The First Step in Secure Application Development

Application security issues continue to be a growing concern for businesses large and small. In fact, many people would be surprised to find that some of the most popular mobile apps downloaded are vulnerable to issues found in the OWASP Mobile Top 10 list of common vulnerabilities. To address these issues security needs to be integrated into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) used by the developers. When developing an application in a secure manner threat modeling is an important but often forgotten first step.

This 1-hour talk will start out as an overview of where to integrate security into the SDLC process. The remainder of the talk will focus on the threat modeling portion of the SecSDLC. During this stage the OWASP Mobile Threat Model will be introduced. To provide real world examples vulnerabilities found in many of the top 25 downloaded apps found in the Apple App Store and Google Play will be covered.

About the Presenter: Matt Neely is the Director of Research, Innovation and Strategic Initiatives at SecureState, a security management consulting firm. At SecureState Matt leads the Research and Innovation team which focuses on imagining, researching and developing methodologies and tools that will solve industry related issues. In addition to Matt’s technical background, his strong understanding of business processes and organizational structure allow him to meet the security needs of the business world. Matt is a regular speaker at various business and security user groups and conferences including Black Hat, Defcon, THOTCON and ShmooCon. Matt recently published the book Radio Reconnaissance in Penetration Testing.

As a reminder, the meeting will be held Wednesday, May 15th from 11 AM to 2 PM courtesy of Summa at 925 Liberty Avenue in Pittsburgh, PA 15222. A Pizza lunch will be served, so please RSVP as soon as possible!

Thank you,

Lee Cambria


Spring Meeting & Membership Drive

Hope you’re all surviving winter! We’re currently working toward scheduling our next meeting for the last week of March, to usher in Spring! We’ll send out another email and update the website when we have a more solid date, time, and location lined up.

Also, we are keen to expand the Pittsburgh chapter’s membership. If you’ve been attending the meetings and would like to see more meetings, more content (more food?), we’d urge you to consider joining at either the personal level or consider the value of having your business becoming a Corporate member.

A one year Individual Membership is just $50, and helps fund the chapter.

A one year Corporate Supporter Membership is $5000.00, and organizations that wish to support OWASP can make a 100% tax deductible donation. These funds are used to enable the OWASP Foundation mission supporting Projects enabling & Grants and receiving discounts at OWASP Conferences for employees to attend and if exhibiting.

To join, please click the link above on this page!

We hope you’ll join us, and help keep the chapter growing so that we can provide content. Also, if there are specific topics you’d like for March’s chapter meeting (or speakers, for that matter!) please let us know.
