Joint OWASP & ISACA Meeting in San Diego- Live Hacking Demonstration

San Diego, CA- The San Diego Information Security Audit and Control Association (ISACA), and the San Diego Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Chapter, are hosting a free seminar on web application vulnerabilities.
 
Oct. 7, 2008 - PRLog -- Jeromie Jackson will provide live hacking demonstrations of the OWASP (www.owasp.org) Top 10 vulnerabilities affecting web-based applications. Vulnerability classifications, hacking demonstrations, and mitigation techniques will be discussed. Attendees will gain an appreciation for the risks web-based applications pose, be given insight into how to evaluate applications, and acquire tools and references to be used after the session.

“OWASP provides the principals, techniques, and tools necessary to mitigate risks early in the software development lifecycle- it also functions well as an audit framework for independent review.  ISACA continues to mature the Control Objectives for IT (COBIT) with a significant emphasis on risk management.  Regulations and standards imposed on organizations are increasingly granular.  Scrutiny surrounding software development processes continue to heighten.  By bringing together ISACA & OWASP we hope to foster open communication between auditors, developers, and security practitioners towards the mutual goal of creating business value,” said Jeromie Jackson.
