Last Month

We had two talks on 10 May:

- Brian Chess, Fortify (Chief Scientist and co-founder). Presentations forthcoming.

- "Security at the VMM Layer", Theodore Winograd, Booz Allen Hamilton. Ted did this talk for one of his Master's courses. He is very active supporting NIST with Special Publications, including plans for an upcoming SP on Virtualization. File:InfoSec World 2007 - Web services gateways.ppt

Next Meeting

Our next meeting will be on 14 June at 6pm back at Booz Allen's Herndon facility. See directions below. Our speakers will be:

- Brian Chess, Fortify (Chief Scientist and co-founder)

Brian will talk about Fortify's offer to use their public scanning services on selected Open Source projects (the Java Open Review Project, see http://opensource.fortifysoftware.com) on all OWASP projects that use Java code. The idea is to put these checks as part of the OWASP SDL. Apart from OWASP being able to use Fortify's public scanning service, Fortify is also supporting OWASP to: 1) analyze the current OWASP tools, 2) publish a report with the findings, and 3) set up a system / workflow that ensures the regular review of OWASP new (and existent) code base. Brian will also discuss Fortify's new Tracer and Defender products.

- "Security at the VMM Layer", Theodore Winograd, Booz Allen Hamilton. Ted did this talk for one of his Master's courses. He is very active supporting NIST with Special Publications, including plans for an upcoming SP on Virtualization.

Pizza will be provided for a small fee.
