John Doherty Msc Security & Forensic Computing

Owen was my lecturer for Security in NCI. His class and teaching made me seek a further interest in the cyber security field. Even after college I kept in touch with him and he gave me advice and encouraged me to do a masters in security in DCU.

Since then Owen pointed me to the OWASP mailing list which keeps me updated on chapter meetings which I regularly attend and also cyber security job postings and courses. The speakers that have attended have been very interesting and informative.

Owen is now advising/helping me with my DCU masters practicum.


‪Mark Denihan OWASP Security Shepherd Project Lead

Owen is the model chapter lead, who has been extremely active and dedicated in the Dublin Space. His enthusiasm and perseverance for OWASP is inspiring. He has made significant impacts on the Information Security community through the regular activities for the OWASP Dublin chapter he has organised and the contributions he's made to other security entities (Daggercon 2015).

‪Owen is an active and dedicated chapter leader, who organises regular activities for the OWASP Dublin chapter and that benefit greatly the local information security community.


Jason flood CTO of Security Gamification at IBM

‪Owen is a fantastic example of a dedicated security professional. I have worked with Owen for more than 5 years across various projects. He is a very active member of the security community and helps to drive and improve security best practice at a Global level through his commitment to the OWASP group. Owen is an asset that helps to improve Ireland's security capabilities with a real can-do attitude.
